Client Comment(s): Bret, Thanks for your great management of the farm. From the first days you took over the responsibility, and the abysmal state the arrangements were, this operation has been nothing but an owner's dream. Thanks Tim Cantwell Director, MidAmerica St. Louis Airport www.flymidamerica.com "My farm manager is very thorough in taking care of my farm and looking after my interests. He communicates with me throughout the year keeping me well informed on everything I need to know. I am happy with my association with Bret Cude and have recommended the services of Farmers National Company to others."--Dr. Erick Albert Lodi, CA "I was just reviewing your Analysis Report and wanted to write you and thank you for all you have done for us this past 12 years. I have never been concerned about the operation and have trusted you completely. You have earned that trust! Thank you for representing us in the sale of the property and in so many other ways. I feel you were doing this as if it was your own property and you represented us well. You saved me countless hours of frustration and worry." -- LaRoy R. Roper Cape Girardeau, MO. Success Story: “Our family farm has been managed by Bret Cude at Farmers National Company for more than a decade, and throughout that period of time we have been well informed on the management of our farm. The farm analysis reports and account information were timely and professional, but most importantly the farm was well managed by our trusted advisor to provide a source of worry free income! Thank you, as well, for representing us in the sale of our family farm, and insuring that we received best market pricing for this property. We are very pleased with your services as our farm representative and valued advisor.�-- Ken Powell Watkinsville, GA Year started with FNC: 1993 |
