Your farm is different

Every farming operation is different. Ownership structures, financial circumstances, tax situations, lending arrangements, insurance coverage, government program eligibility, family considerations, production practices, and business objectives vary considerably from one operation to another.

Information that may be appropriate for one farm may not be appropriate for another.

Before acting on information discussed by The Farm Family Office, you should consult the appropriate professionals who are familiar with your particular operation. Depending on the issue, that may include your CPA, attorney, banker, financial adviser, insurance or crop insurance agent, agronomist, farm consultant, or government program representative.

Information changes

Agriculture is affected by changing laws, tax rules, government programs, regulations, commodity markets, interest rates, deadlines, program requirements, and other conditions.

The Farm Family Office makes reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate information, but information may become outdated or may not apply to your particular circumstances. Readers should independently confirm important dates, requirements, calculations, and other information before making a financial or business decision.
