Farmland Partners Announces Change to its Board of Directors

Murray Wise Resigns from Board

Farmland Partners Inc. (NYSE: FPI) (the “Company” or “FPI”) today announced that Murray Wise, the founder of FPI subsidiary Murray Wise Associates LLC (“MWA”), plans to step down from the Company’s Board of Directors effective January 1, 2024.

“Murray is a mentor and a friend. He is a trailblazer in the farmland investment arena and should be extremely proud of everything he’s built throughout his more than 40 years in the farmland market,” said Paul Pittman, FPI’s Executive Chairman. “We wish Murray well as he begins his planned transition towards retirement to spend more time with his family. I want to personally thank Murray for his contributions to the Board and assure him that all of us at FPI and MWA will continue his important work.”

Wise founded the Westchester Group in 1986, which has grown to become the world’s largest institutional farmland asset manager. He started MWA as a spinoff of Westchester’s brokerage, auction, and farm management businesses when the company was acquired by TIAA in 2010. FPI acquired MWA in November 2021, at which time Wise joined the Company’s Board of Directors.
