After Another Unsuccessful Season With the Bills, $258 Million QB Josh Allen Reveals Plans To Make Money With His New Project Spanning Across 1,000 Acres

Are all NFL players changing their jobs? Probably not. While some have switched professions, many are focused on further increasing their income. Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, is among numerous celebrities who are exploring different ventures.

Allen, who was drafted in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Bills, recently signed a six-year, $258 million contract that keeps him with the team until the 2028 season. Before achieving the top spot in NFL jersey sales and appearing on the cover of “Madden NFL 24,” however, Josh Allen worked on his family’s farm in rural California. A recent post has revealed that he has some new plans for it.

Back to the farm

A sports page, Front Office Sports, on Twitter, unveiled Josh Allen’s new business plan, stating, “Josh Allen grew up on his family’s farm in rural California. Now, he plans to grow 1,000 acres of pistachios and turn it into a profitable business.” It further added, “The Bills QB joins an expanding list of athletes investing in American farms.” For nearly fifty years, Allen’s family has been tending to their 3,000-acre farm in Fresno County, where they cultivated cotton, alfalfa, and cantaloupes. After the land was severely affected by drought, however, Allen’s interest in farming also diminished.

Now, it seems like he has had a change of heart. He aims to introduce pistachios as a new crop and eventually plant trees on 1,000 acres. Additionally, Allen has also embraced the role of a farming advocate. During his high school days in Firebaugh, California, he was an active member of the Future Farmers of America group. In a podcast, he expressed that farming helped him in his athletic pursuits by teaching him the value of hard work and maintaining physical fitness. Interestingly, Allen is not the only quarterback with an interest in farming; Joe Burrow and other celebrities share similar passions.

Some other investors in farming

Earlier this year, Joe Burrow, the quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, made investments in agriculture. He joined a group of 20 athletes who collectively purchased a 104-acre farm in northern Iowa using a $5 million fund. The Burrow farm will primarily focus on cultivating corn and soybeans.

Notable athlete investors in this venture include Kevin Gausman, Kemba Walker, Khris Middleton, Zach Ertz, and Sam Hubbard. Additionally, traditional investors such as JP Morgan are also involved in the project.
