Why farmers and ranchers come to me for their farm/ranch transition help: 1. They know my agriculture background, and want to work with someone that understands and supports what they’re navigating. 2. They’ve been procrastinating, and finally a health scare caused them to pony up and start actually doing some planning. 3. Taxes. Always taxes. 4. They had a bad estate planning experience, either from parents or grandparents. They don’t want their kids to whether the same storm they had. 5. They know that farming and ranching has changed, and they want to give the next generation the best chance to succeed. The thing is, procrastination and needing to focus on the day to day are the biggest reasons why farmers and ranchers do NOT start planning. You may be procrastinating your farm straight into bankruptcy. It’s not an easy process, but I hope that agricultural attorneys and I can provide the guidance you need to navigate how to create a successful plan that Keeps the farm AND the family together. #agriculture #agestateplanning #farmtransitions #ranchtransitions #familybusiness

"American values threatened by farm losses, USDA chief says" Very interesting article. So many of our challenges in farming, ranching and rural America are so closely intertwined and connected that they cannot be addressed separately. These issues are important to me as a Land Broker, a property rights advocate and as a resident of rural America. One of the challenges we face is impressing upon urban and corporate America that these are issues that affect our entire nation. https://lnkd.in/g2b9BXpk

PRODUCER SENTIMENT, FARMLAND VALUE EXPECTATIONS, AND FARM FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE — by Michael Langemeier and James Mintert Farmland is by far and away the largest asset on most farm balance sheets. At the U.S. level, farmland accounts for over 80% of all total farm assets. Given the importance of farmland prices to the financial health of farms, it is useful to explore factors that impact farmland price expectations. This farmdoc daily article examines the relationship between producer sentiment, farmland value expectations, and farm financial performance. Producer sentiment and farm financial performance expectations were related to short-term farmland price expectations, but not long-term expectations. Respondents who expect farmland prices to increase in the next 5 years tend to think that farmland is a good investment.

Here at County National Bank, we recognize the importance of agriculture. Here are 3 tips for young and beginning Farmers: 1. Develop a business and marketing plan. You will work smarter and improve your odds when you focus and organize your goals. 2. Decide on what type of operation you want to run. New farmers should either be very efficient, low-cost producers or should add value that someone else will pay for. 3. Ask your banker about how to get access to state and federal credit enhancement programs.
