Farmland As A Long-term Investment 

  

John and June Simon bought their first farm in 1990 through the assistance of the local Farmers National Company (FNC) agent. FNC staff worked diligently with the Simons to review the farms and evaluate each for investment quality. This was vitally important for the Simons because they were using hard earned money from other investments to buy their first farm. After careful consideration, Farmers National Company was the one they trusted to help them make the purchase. 

  

Over the years, several additional farms have been purchased to add to the farmland portfolio of the Simons. John and June turn to the trusted professionals at Farmers National Company to manage their farm investment because of the hands-on, local expertise of the  farm managers. The accounting statements not only serve the needs of the Simons, but also make their tax accountant extremely happy.    

  

John and June are very pleased with their farmland investments. Farmers National  Company has been beside them from the beginning, assisting them in buying and managing each farm so that they are profitable and enjoyable to own.

FNC Helps Make the Farm Investment Profitable 

  

Dan Pleiss, CPA, knows numbers and how business investments work. When it came time to invest in farmland, Dan and Charol turned to Farmers National Company for guidance in making farm ownership profitable.  

  

"My first introduction to Farmers National Company was through my father-in-law who worked at Farmers National Company for over 30 years. With the assistance of Farmers National Company, my wife and I made a farm investment. It was only fitting that we would continue to use their services to manage the farm investment. We have been very pleased with the results. The farm manager is available to answer questions regarding farm operations and grain marketing. The annual landowner workshops help to keep the landowner up to date on topics pertinent to the farming operations."

Managing General Partner 

Wilson Farms, Ltd. 

Iowa 

  

Security, Improvements, and Increased Profits 

  

Landowners have many reasons for turning to Farmers National Company for help with their farms. Nearly three decades ago, the Wilson family turned to Farmers National Company for security, improvement of the farms, and increased profits. 

  

"Over the 28 ensuing years since making our decision to employ Farmers National Company, we have profited with this management organization as a result of their recommendations. 

  

Presently, all our farms have now been completely converted to written, custom farming leases, as a result of spreadsheet analysis by our managers, which showed the greatest potential return, with managed risk, for our overall operation. We have benefited from other improvements which were all suggested by our farm managers. 

  

Farmers National Company, through their on-site managers and their expertise, has made many things possible for our family, including education of our children, comfortable retirement, and an overall feeling of security that we are well represented as absentee owners of our farmland in Iowa and Illinois. We feel quite confident that our children will inherit an extremely well-managed farm operation."
