The AgServ Process: Your Customized Key To Success!
Development of Strategies to Meet Your Objectives
Because no two farms are identical, we develop solutions that are customized for your farm that are based upon your priorities and long-term goals.
At AgServ, we have a strong reputation of being honest and trustworthy–and as such, we present you with a clear, concise plan for your farm and will work with you to gain your approval.
Identify Your Priorities
As with any farm, we know that no two farms are identical. To effectively develop solutions that meet your prioroties, we take a personal, low-key approach by listening to you, learning about your farming operation and asking in-depth questions so that we fully-understand your business. This approach allows us to develop customized solutions tailored for each farm.
Implementation of Strategies
As with any plan, implementation of strategies ‘on the farm’ is where the rubber meets the road; and while mother nature doesn’t always cooperate, we stand ready to work with you to modify plans accordingly as conditions change or your priorities for your farm evolve.
Evaluate, Review and Forward Planning
Whether its a farm management plan, a crop insurance policy or a real estate transaction–we believe proper follow-up and evaluation of the plan, policy or transaction is imporant for our clients. We know that farming isn’t easy, and we want to make sure that our recommened solutions are working for you each year. We know that what worked one year may not work the next year due to external conditions beyond your control, but we’re here to recommend solutions for your farm that help mitigate risks and maximize profit potential while meeting your priorities.
