Tips for Building Sustainable Farms

Farmers and ranchers across the U.S. are charged with a critical task: feeding our country and the rest of the world. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reports that the U.S. is the world’s largest agricultural exporter, with one out of every three acres being planted for exported products.

Risk Management for Modern Agricultural Operations

U.S. agriculture producers have always dealt with risks, from weather to unpredictable supply and demand changes to volatile costs and market prices. Today’s producers must navigate through an even greater number of unknowns, as agriculture has become a capital-intensive, high input-cost business in an increasingly global marketplace.

Succession Planning on the Family Farm

The family farm is a vital aspect of American industry and a significant contributor to the economy. But maintaining a thriving farm operation is no small task, given the level of financial commitment, opportunity and risk associated with agriculture and agri-business. Yet families across the country continue to dream of the day the farm will pass to the next generation.
