The opportunities and pitfalls of farmland ownership
As advisors, we are often asked whether farmland should be held in a corporation or personally. The question arises often in the context of incorporating farming operations.

The life of pipeline transactions: The beat goes on

Often, there are other children in the family who have left the farm and have blazed their own paths in life.
