Many of our clients write us letters about the service they receive from Farmers National Company.    

  

Client Comments Received from Mr. George Beard, Omaha, Nebraska: "Thanks for your thorough and complete report on the operation of my Iowa farm during the past crop year. I am pleased with the corn yield and the bean yield. I visited the farm in August during the drought and at that time was very discouraged the way the beans looked, so I think the 40 bu yield was exceptional. Also your decision to air spray the beans to counter the aphids paid off very well. 

   

Thanks for the way you are handling the Government Farm Program. As to the operator I think he is doing a good and timely job handling the farm operation. 

   

I have always been pleased with Farmers National's management of my farm."    

  

Client comments were received from Mrs. Jessie Hunt: "Deep appreciation to Farmers National Company.  You have literally turned our lives and fortune around for the better since we turned our Kansas land over to you. My daughter and I gratefully enjoy the security we have knowing your firm is in charge."  

  

  

Comments from FNC Client Mrs. Gerald Murray in Hemut, California follow: "Before we started with Farmers National Company we were ready to sell our Adams County, Illinois farm because we live so far away. Before Farmers National Company took over it didn't seem like the crops were as good as they are now. 

  

We don't have to worry about the farm anymore.  Farmers National Company takes care of everything and the monthly reports are helpful in knowing what is happening on the farm. Our farm manager is always pleasant and ready to help no matter when we call." 

  

Client Comments from Ken Decker, a client of Farmers National Company in South Bend, Indiana: 

  

"Service provided by Farmers National Company makes it easy to own a farm and improve farm productivity. I feel the management fee is more than offset by seed discounts and the additional income earned from selling our crops according to your marketing recommendations. Previously, almost all of our crops were sold at harvest at a time when we usually hit the lowest price of the year. Through careful marketing and cost savings, Farmers National Company earned their fee, and then some. 

  

In addition to these benefits, we have seen increased yields and income as a result of proper farm management." 

  

  

At Farmers National Company we are proud of the many long-term relationships we have with our clients.  We currently have over 1,500 clients that have been with us for over 25 years.  We are also proud of the fact that we have over 215 clients where we have managed their farms for over 50 years continuously.  All of our clients are on one-year contract with Farmers National Company.    

  

When our clients were asked on a recent survey what they consider to be Farmers National Company's strongest service - benefit to them, they responded as follows:  

  

• A seven-year client said that our greatest benefit is "our overall knowledge of the farm scene and the depth of knowledge within the Farmers National management scene.  Everyone I have met within the Farmers National Company organization has always been willing to listen and assist when needed.  You are a great bunch of people."

  

• A ten-year client reported that he liked our "competent farm manager.  In connection with an IRS matter, I recently requested a letter from your financial reporting area confirming certain information.  The response was prompt and very helpful."

  

• A 39-year client reported that our strongest service is "acting as my agent or representative. I worked in a library and know nothing about farming.  Business ability is not one of my strong points. I take pride in the fact that the farm is being well managed."

  

• A 40-year client reports "You make farm ownership virtually worry-free."

  

• This 54-year client considered our greatest service "obtaining good quality tenants and the availability of the farm manager for updates and consultations."
