Farm Management Services
Managing a farm requires more than just overseeing crops—it takes a hands-on, proactive approach to protect your land and maximize its potential. Our comprehensive farm management services include:
- Land Brokering – Guidance and representation in buying, selling, or leasing farmland with full brokerage support.
- Project Coordination – Supervision of drainage, structural repairs, conservation practices, and other improvement projects.
- Farm Visits – Monthly visits during the growing season ensure we monitor crop progress, soil conditions, drainage, erosion control, and conservation practices. We also keep an eye on fence-line maintenance, trespassing, and unauthorized uses, protecting your farm as if it were our own.
- Reporting & Accounting – We provide complete financial transparency. Each month, you’ll receive written reports with income, expenses, crop updates, and weather summaries. An annual Income & Expense Summary is delivered every January, aligned with Schedule F tax forms. Depreciation schedules are also prepared when improvements are made, ensuring your tax professional has accurate records.
- Production Data & Soil Fertility Mapping – We track yields and soil health while coordinating with FSA programs and government incentives to enhance profitability and long-term sustainability.
- Insurance, Taxes & Vendor Management – From managing vendor relationships to handling tax payments and insurance needs, we take care of the details so you can enjoy peace of mind.
With us, farm management goes beyond the basics—we watch over your land with the same care and attention you would if you were there yourself.
