Dive into weekly programming topics during your 1:1 calls

  • Risk Management Essentials

    Explore the intricate world of risk management in agriculture, where we delve into the strategic use of crop insurance, livestock risk policies, and futures and options contracts. Master the art of minimizing risk and maximizing returns to fortify your agricultural enterprise.

  • Navigating Ag Policy

    Dive into the complex realm of agricultural policy, where federal, state, and local regulations shape our daily operations. Gain insights into upcoming legislative changes and learn how to effectively engage with policymakers to advocate for your needs and interests.

  • Strategic Budgeting

    We have no doubt you have one, but “having it all in your head” isn’t a sustainable solution for building generational success. When we build for scale and inclusion, you understand your financial position down to unit cost of production. In knowing these details, you protect your operation and safeguard its future.

  • Marketing Plan Development

    Maybe you’ve got a detailed plan in place. Maybe you’ve never had an official plan. We can walk you through creating a plan from scratch or auditing the current plan.

  • Emotions

    Agriculture can be an emotional industry filled with stoic, proud, and passionate people. We’ll guide you through seasons of heightened emotions with an objective, third-party perspective from someone with the same lived experiences.

  • Financial Risk

    As the old adage says, with big risks come big rewards. However, sometimes there are risks that are not in the best interest of your operation. We’ll help you navigate the balance between your operation’s financial position and the benefits of taking some financial risk.

  • Information Flow

    We know your farm team is often also your family and internal communications can make or break your farming and ranching business — and your family. We’ll talk about ways to broach emotionally charged subjects in order to protect your family legacy.

  • Legal

    Operate above board, always. This is a core value of Empire Ag and a key component to an operation that is successful for generations.

  • Management

    Many of us do things a certain way for a long time. Our job is to ask the simple question, “why?” It’s possible there are new tools to help manage your operation to save you time and money.

  • Niche Markets

    Your operation may fall under a larger market, but with unique needs and market opportunities. We’ll help you explore opportunities that are unique to your operation.

  • Succession Planning

    We know not everyone is comfortable talking about the inevitable, but we also know the time to plan for a farm transition is not during a crisis. Planning for change in times of calm ensures you make logical and strategic choices that protect your Empire, and we can help you begin to have those conversations with your farm team and family.
