Investing directly in Canadian farmland with Veripath Partners – Canaccord Genuity April 2024

Canada’s Veripath Farmland Partners announced the launch of an RRSP-eligible (Registered Retirement Savings Plan) farmland investments.

Only a week after announcing a new investment strategy, Veripath Farmland Partners is back on the acquisition trail.

Farmland’s reputation as a safe and profitable asset seems sure to draw more investment dollars into rural Canada.
