Our services
Risk Assessment and Farm Leases
Summit provides detailed risk assessment and lease management services as ownership goals change over time. We can help you understand lease alternatives, make recommendations and procure leases that are the best fit for a particular farm. We will continue to review and offer modifications to lease and cash rent agreements as needed.
Financial and Analytical
Our in-house accounting department and analytics team provides complete financial recordkeeping and data services for all areas of farm activity. Findings are communicated on a regular basis through official documentation in the form of quarterly financial reports and year-end reports.
Capital Improvements
Capital improvement projects are used by Summit to boost operational efficiency and to enhance overall lease/sale value of farm property. The scope of improvements can vary depending on the initial quality of the farm but are intended to promote profitability, land stewardship and farm appearance.
USDA and Conservation Programs
Taking a proactive approach to conservation is an effective way to maximize return and preserve the environment while attaining greater lease value. Summit can ensure farms are operated in compliance with government farm programs and will handle all required administration and paperwork duties.
At Summit Ag Management, we recognize that each farm has a unique situation, and a one size fits all approach simply doesn’t fit every situation. Many landowners do not require all aspects of traditional farm management services. Summit Advantage provides FLEXIBLE options by unbundling traditional farm management services. The landowner now has the flexibility to choose any or all of our services. Want to know more about Summit Advantage? Contact us today!
