A group of athletes is getting into the business of farming.
Two-dozen-or-so figures from across North America’s big four sports (MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL) pooled together roughly $5 million for agricultural investments.
The group includes big names like Joe Burrow, Blake Griffin, Kemba Walker, and more.
The first purchase? A 104-acre soy farm in Iowa.
