"My responsibility is to know your farm, and to know what is happening in your market. With that, I can give you spot-on recommendations as to how each year’s lease should be structured."

“Through years of providing the industry's multi-faceted services, I discovered I had a knack for the Real Estate side of the business, probably a nod to my father—a Farm Real Estate and Development broker for many years around Indianapolis.”
