Farm Management

You can trust

AgCentric Farm Agency provides comprehensive farm management services for individuals, trusts, estates, corporations, and partnership landowners. In today’s complex agricultural environment—where technology evolves rapidly, markets are volatile, government programs are detailed, and margins are tight—experienced management matters.

We manage over 30,000 acres across Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Minnesota, serving clients throughout the U.S. and abroad. Our complete management approach is designed to protect your investment and maximize the return on your land.

Our Management Activities Include:

  • Analysis

    Recommended Method of Operation

    Our services begin with a complete farm analysis. We evaluate crop share, cash rent, guaranteed bushel, or custom farming options and recommend the best fit for your goals, including agronomic improvements. Lease terms are reviewed annually, and all agreements are negotiated, written, and approved by you.

  • Planning

    Crop Production

    Each fall and winter, we develop a crop production plan for the coming year. It includes crop acreage, seed selection, fertility, weed and pest control, and a full budget. Plans are created with the farm operator and submitted for your approval. For cash rent farms, we review operator plans to protect productivity.

  • Direction

    Analyze Government Programs

    We stay current on USDA farm program changes and manage all required paperwork to ensure participation and compliance. We also monitor legislation affecting agriculture and communicate with state and federal legislators to keep rural priorities and landowner concerns at the forefront of policy decisions.

  • Reporting

    Farm Inspections and Comprehensive Reports

    During the growing season, we conduct regular farm inspections and consult with the operator to ensure plans are carried out properly and on schedule. We monitor crop development, plant populations, pest control, and ongoing improvements, providing you with updates and recommending adjustments as needed.

  • Accounting

    Complete Accounting of Income and Expenses

    Our accounting services include collecting income, paying expenses, and providing complete financial reporting. You receive quarterly receipts and disbursement reports and an annual income statement. Funds reserved for future expenses may be invested in money market accounts, and we pursue volume discounts to reduce operating costs.

  • Marketing

    Farm Product Marketing

    We continuously monitor and analyze grain markets to identify profitable opportunities. Using tools such as cash sales, forward contracts, basis contracts, options, and futures hedges, we implement disciplined marketing strategies designed to manage risk, capture favorable pricing, and protect your farm’s overall financial performance.

  • Security

    Peace of Mind

    Perhaps our most valuable service is peace of mind. You can be confident your property is managed by experienced professionals who understand agriculture, protect your investment, and make informed decisions on your behalf. That confidence allows you to focus elsewhere while we safeguard your land.
