We Manage Every Detail…
We supervise all details related to the operation of the farm, including leasing the land, planning the crop rotation, purchasing supplies, marketing the crops, and supervising land improvements and building repairs. We normally visit the farm every couple of weeks, or more frequently, if needed. The owners have accurate, up-to-date records, consistent on-the-farm supervision, and assurance that their best interests are being represented. We select top operators who respond to our management and have excellent cooperation with them.

Individual Farm Checking Account
An individual farm checking account is maintained for each client at a bank of his/her choice. All income and expense items are approved by the manager and transacted through this account. Statements of the account are mailed quarterly to the client and all transactions are summarized at the end of the year in our Annual Report.

Other Service Features
Additional features in our Annual Report include a year-end inventory, yield and production summaries, budget for the coming year, and other information concerning the activities on the farm. If the farm has multiple owners, each receives copies of all correspondence and statements of accounts.
