Why Choose PoultrySouth?

LEADERS IN MARKETING POULTRY FARMS

CONFIDENTIALITY

We never discuss the details of your farm outside our team until you are ready to put the farm on the market. There’s no need to worry about what the integrator or your farm employees think about you kicking around the idea of selling. We can schedule times to consult with you that work around those issues. What we don’t do is shortchange the value of seeing and understanding the farm and our client’s needs.

LOCAL SERVICE

The PoultrySouth team, though our affiliation with Southeastern Land Group, has agents throughout the Southeast that are there to help you and help facilitate bringing pre-screened and pre-qualified buyers to your farm. No other company specializing in Poultry Farm sales has the local team or the reach that the PoultrySouth team does.

NATIONAL EXPOSURE

Through many years of development, forward-thinking, and innovation, there is no other that can help sellers reach more well-qualified buyers than the PoultrySouth team. PoultrySouth.com sets the standard for reaching these buyers, and through the affiliation with Southeastern Land Group, the multiple land and farm websites we advertise on, the established social media presence, direct mail, and good old-fashioned salesmanship, no one can expose your farm better and help you get top dollar better.

TIME-TESTED METHODS

DEDICATED TO OUR SELLERS

At PoultrySouth we are dedicated to representing our sellers best interests. There are others out there that will tell you they have a buyer, and while that may be true, do you want to work with someone that is just trying to place your farm with a buyer or someone that is dedicated to serve your best interests? The PoultrySouth team, along with the Southeastern Land Group brokerage will sign on the dotted line to do just that, represent the SELLER’s best interest AND bring those buyers too.

PROVEN RESULTS

Many wise people will tell you the old adage that, “The proof is in the pudding”. The PoultrySouth team knows the recipe and has made the successful poultry farm transaction many times over. Our proof is in the many farm families we have helped successfully close out the sale of a poultry farm. If you can’t get a deal to the closing table, and help the seller obtain the best deal possible in the process, you probably don’t know the right recipe. The PoultrySouth team has been getting 5 star reviews for many years. Take a look at some of the customer testimonials here.

PoultrySouth is proud to be a part of the Southeastern Land Group team. PoultrySouth is proud to represent our sellers in the time-tested way that the best real estate agents have been doing for generations. With all the changes and fancy new ideas that people come up with, there is a reason that good, successful, and productive agents maintain that traditional seller-representation relationship. It works. It has worked for years, and will continue to work into the future. When you commit to doing the best for the seller, and you do it, people take notice. Southeastern Land Group is the best in the business at representing our sellers. The PoultrySouth team marries that time-tested concept with laser focus on our poultry farm seller clients to deliver the best customer experience.

When we decided to sell, there was no doubt we would be listing with PoultrySouth. They did a great job with the sale of my farm! I was very satisfied. Randall and the team took care of everything and the transaction went like it was suppose to.

My experience with the PoultrySouth Team was awesome. I actually bought my farm from them 5 years ago so when it was time to sell I knew I’d be calling them. Randall and the entire PoultrySouth Team did a great job. They followed all bio-security protocols and actually brought it up a few times so I knew they were fully aware.

Since I’ve been a purchaser and seller, I wouldn’t recommend any other company to a seller!

James P. - Seller

The PoultrySouth guys did great job! We had no issues whatsoever. I thing I liked most was the way they handled everything with the buyers. I didn’t have to spend a lot of time showing them anything. The PoultrySouth Team handled it all!

John S. - Seller

The PoultrySouth Team did exceptional selling my farm. They took care of everything and I didn’t have to worry about anything. They did a great job! I would 100% recommend the PS Team to others looking to buy or sell a poultry farm! Thanks guys!

Robert, Randall, and Brandon were great! They handled everything. I didn’t have to do anything. They found the right buyer and worked with them too. I would highly recommend the PoultrySouth Team to any other growers who are considering selling their farm!

The PoultrySouth guys did very well with the sale of our farm. The best part about the whole transaction was the customer service. Robert always called me back and answered my questions, and if he couldn’t answer right away he would text me. I would most definitely recommend PoultrySouth to anyone considering selling a poultry farm!

CONSTANT CHANGE

By Robert King, PoultrySouth Co-Founder and Team Leader

Change is constant. The one thing you can rely on is change. There’s one thing that doesn’t change and that’s that things will change. Nothing is consistent except change. At least in terms of this world and our limitations here the oxymoron of constant change is certainly true. The poultry farm market is in a constant state of change. As a professional in the poultry farm market, we are constantly observing and predicting change based off our knowledge, experience, and expectations. If we expect to do things the same in 2023 as we did in 2020 without modification, we are probably missing the boat.

A market never exists in a vacuum. Literally everything going on around a market, like the poultry farm market, has an influence over its direction. Major factors we can study and make informed prognostications about, sort of like predicting the weather. Newton’s third law, that

Factor Explanation

Sellers’ Desire/ Ability to Sell

Buyers’ Desire/ Ability to Buy

Interest Rate Changes

Lending Guidelines Changes

Lenders’ Desire to Lend

Grower Pay Changes

Inflation Pressures

Buyer’s Down Payment Ability

for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, also applies to markets, in a manner of speaking. When buyers’ ability to buy or desire to buy is affected, there are generally corresponding differences in pricing. When sellers’ ability or desire to sell is affected, there are generally corresponding differences in pricing. Since buyers’ and seller’s motivations change ALL the time, then CHANGE in the poultry farm market is CONSTANT.

All the factors that affect buyers’ and sellers’ motivations have one of three effects. Upward pressure on price, downward pressure on price, or no pressure on price. Below is a breakdown of some of the factors in this market and how those have and are affecting the price that poultry farms are selling for. Desire and ability are presented together because it’s almost impossible to look at one without the other.

Net Change in Market Prices

Many more sellers have come into the market in response to the higher prices being paid for farms. The higher prices have contributed to their ability to cash out and pursue other interests. This has increased available inventory.

Buyers’ desire to buy has remained very good. We see good demand from those that want to see farms and desiring the lifestyle that comes with poultry farm ownership. However, their ability has diminished some due to interest rate and down payment factors.

Interest rates have gone up dramatically in the last year. Buyers have absorbed some of this increase and current rates are much closer to “normal” lending rates. However, there is only so much room in the cash flow of the farm at current pay rates. The added interest expense must come from somewhere (Newton’s third law reference above) and that’s usually from price and down payment.

There have been some changes in guidelines with FSA and within many of the lending institutions themselves.

Lenders want to lend. We are getting calls from lenders that are caught up without that many pending deals. That has not happened since sometime in 2018/2019. They want to make loans and are open to working deals that they would not consider just a short time ago.

Most complexes have experienced a raise or raises in pay in the last year. However, most of the increase in pay, has been consumed by increases in operating expense.

Increased materials and labor costs are driving the costs of production higher.

Most buyers in the last few years have been gathering their down payment money from the sale of homes located in major metropolitan areas. Many of these areas are experiencing longer on the market times and are seeing price reductions on listings for the first time in several years.

Building Costs The cost of building has decreased from its highs during 2021. However, these decreases have been moderate in most materials other than lumber, which has been on a wild ride. Some materials have experienced price increases and the labor market continues to add to cost of construction.

As you can see, the market for poultry farms is complicated. Many of the above listed factors have interrelated relationships as well. With all of that said, the combination of buyers’ ability, inflation, interest rate changes, and down payment ability are the prevailing factors in today’s market. The net result is downward pressure on pricing.

Interest rates are actually at a healthy level, and are very normal when you look at the last 25 years of history. It’s everyone’s thinking and perception that has not caught up since we have all been accustomed to the unprecedented low interest rates we have had for the last several years. Everyone will adjust to this and the market will too.

Greater inventory equals more seller competition for the buyers and moderate downward pressure on price.

Buyers’ ability is the driving focus here. Farm pricing has a ceiling at what will cashflow and the down payment factors plus interest rates have decreased Buyers’ ability. Buyers’ strong desire is keeping this from being a larger negative than it is today.

The pressure that interest rate changes have had on price has resulted in some downward movement. However, lenders are responding with extended terms and novel loan products that shorten their risk period. This has softened the blow somewhat.

No real change in pricing has occurred from this at this point. It has mostly resulted in increased processing time.

Lenders getting their desk clear and being willing to get more creative is always a positive for the market.

In some cases, operating expense has outpaced increases in pay resulting in these pay increases not really moving the needle on pricing very much.

Inflation is the cure for inflation. See Newton’s third law reference above. As prices rise on the cost of doing business, the value of the business itself decreases because it does not make as much money.

Lower selling prices of their homes result in less available down payment, resulting in more of the purchase price having cash flow within the income generated on the farm. This is the heaviest weight we see on pricing right now.

The combination of slightly lower building costs and increased integrator incentives to build new houses have actually pushed some buyers into the market to build new rather than buy an existing farm.

Inflation will cure itself at some point, the only thing that remains to be seen is the volatility that is involved in the “cure”. So many factors outside the poultry farm market itself make this a tough prediction. Recent thought among the financially literate folks suggests that inflation may not get as bad out of line as we once thought it could.

So, change is constant. The poultry farm market is constantly changing. The prevailing winds right now point to lower pricing, but not extremely lower. We certainly have not lost all that was gained in the last 5 years or so, and do not expect to. In fact, as inflation subsides some, and everyone’s perception of interest rate moderates, and buyers continue to want to get out of town and back to the farm, we can see this market coming to a fairly stable point in the next year.
