Hello and welcome to Farmland Partners Inc. Q3 2023 earnings call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speaker's remarks, there will be a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question during this time, simply press star 1 on your telephone keypad. I will now turn the conference over to Mr. Luca Fabri, President and CEO. Please go ahead.

Thank you Sara. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Farmland Partners' third quarter earnings conference call and webcast. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to share with you our thinking and our strategy in a format a bit less formal and more interactive than public filings and press releases. Before we really get started, I will turn over the call to our general counsel, Christine Garrison, for some customary preliminary remarks. Christine?

Thank you, Luca, and thank you to everyone on the call. The press release announcing our third quarter earnings was distributed after markets closed yesterday. The supplemental package has been posted to the investor relations section of our website under the subheader events and presentations. For those who listened to the recording of this presentation, we remind you that the remarks made herein are as of today, October 26, 2023, and will not be updated subsequent to this call. During this call, we will make forward-looking statements, including statements related to the future performance of our portfolio, our identified and potential acquisitions and dispositions, impacts of acquisitions, dispositions, and financing activities, business development opportunities, as well as comments on our outlook for our business, rents, and the broader agricultural markets. We will also discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures, including net operating income, FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA RE, and Adjusted EBITDA RE. Definitions of these non-GAAP measures, as well as reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures, are included in the company's press release announcing third quarter earnings, which is available on our website, FriendlyPartners.com, and is furnished as an exhibit to our current report on Form 8K, dated October 25, 2023. Listeners are cautioned that these statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. These risks and uncertainties can cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations, and we advise listeners to review the risk factors discussed in our press release distributed yesterday and in documents we have filed with or furnished to the SEC. I would now like to turn the call to our Executive Chairman, Paul Pittman. Paul?
