Join us on Monday, January 9th, at the Illini Center for a panel discussion on optimizing a return on investment of farmland. The panelists will be Kyle Mehmen, Partner at MBS Family Farms and MBS Ag Services, Inc. and Farm Manager at Roach Farm Management, LLC and Gary McDonald, Owner of Organic Resources.

To be successful, farmland owners, farmers, farm managers, and Ag lenders/investors must balance the often-competing goals of maximizing current yields and cash flow with building value in the underlying long-term land asset. This also means ensuring that your farm infrastructure, equipment, skills and growing practices are prepared for the risks associated with changing consumer preferences and economic conditions.
