Client Comment(s):
Ben Watson has been managing the 284-acre airport farm for the City of Ames for the last several years. He has provided excellent management services, dealing with both land and lease issues. Ben has maximized the revenues for the airport farm by negotiating fair and firm farm contracts each year. As a client that has been working with Farmers National since 1989, Ben's extra efforts dealing with the airport farm have been fully appreciated.


Success Story:
Upon contact by an area producer, I sold a FSBO farm to an existing management client. The client earns an excellent rate of return and the farm has appreciated in value strongly over two years.

Developed 80 acres of a managed farm in collar area around Des Moines into rural, residential subdivision.

I have improved wildlife habitat on those farms whose clients personally enjoy hunting.
