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.
You have been doing a great job managing our farms and we value (as always) your opinions.
Success Story: Upon contact by an area producer, a deal was struck with a management client to purchase the farm. The management client anticipates their first year with the new farm while the producer was able to purchase additional cropland.
Custom farm operation provides many clients with the opportunity to earn returns greater than those available from other, less aggressive lease types. With such an arrangement, the client maintains control over soil fertility, weed control, and other aspects of farmland stewardship.
Year started with FNC: 1999
