From Grant:

"My aim is to help the next farming generation buy ground. Target audience is 25-35 years old, hasn't bought ground yet and can't get over their objections (too expensive, too young, can't afford, and not enough available). My focus is balance sheet strength and finding creative ways to get the deal done to overcome objections."
