With this being our first time working with a management company, we didn’t know what to expect. We had many questions at the beginning of our association with Farmers National and you had answers to all of them. You always kept us informed as to what was going on. Thank you also for suggesting a hunting lease on the farm and passing our name on to Charlie Leese. We were surprised at the amount that was bid for this year. We look forward to working with you and Farmers National for many years. We are very pleased with how everything is turning out. Dave and Cheri Esslinger Year started with FNC: 2019 |
