Key takeaways

1. US agricultural labor doesn't have a shortage problem so much as a matching, timing, and settlement problem.

2. The 75,000-landowner LandConnect database reveals county-level demand patterns that no single agency dataset captures.

3. Escrow-backed workflows lift on-time completion from a ~62% industry baseline to 91% on platform.

4. Network effects compress median time-to-match from 22 days to 7 days in 18 months.

5. Of the 30 agrarian platforms reviewed by Institutional Landscapes, almost none own the trust layer end-to-end. That's the gap LandConnect fills.
