Our firm manages 35,000 acres of farmland for landowners who are not farmers. We typically work with our clients to identify their short and long-term management objectives. Following an assessment of the resources and identification of environmentally sensitive areas we typically conduct a financial and management review of existing operations to insure activities are consistent with the owners objectives. We develop agricultural contracts to insure the farm operator and landowner clearly understand what is necessary for a successful partnership. We have encountered landowners who do not fully understand that the farmer is running a business and making investments that may not be recovered for several years. In order to maintain an effective relationship both parties need to plan for at least a 3-year period and clearly identify mutual expectations including any proposed land use changes to avoid unnecessary cost.

Once we have developed agricultural leases and/or contracts we provide annual monitoring inspections to insure the farming operation is in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. If problems are identified we will work with the landowner or farm operator to institute corrective action plans when appropriate. By serving both the landowner's and farm operator's needs we can insure successful relationships.
