Ranch Management

Real estate agents typically view “Ranch Management” as an additional “profit center” to their off season sales and a way to stay in direct contact with the client until, the pitfalls of absentee ranch management, have financially overwhelmed the client, and they re-list the ranch to be sold!

Lon E. Morris, as a professional Agricultural Lender, pioneered lending strategies to absentee ranch owners as an integral part of his agricultural lending portfolio. Lon conducted “exit interviews” with absentee ranch owners that were selling their ranches, and quickly ascertained that ranch management, employee issues, and the associated carrying costs were simply too great, to offset the investment appreciation, and the enjoyment aspects of owning a ranch. Western Agri Financial, Inc. utilizes this lending experience as a model for their approach to “Ranch Management”.

Complicated, multi-faceted, ranch management business plans work well for the ranch management company, but not for the owner!

Western Agri Financial, Inc. strictly adheres to the concept of “Strategic Analysis” to ascertain the true long range objectives of the owner. Once these objectives are established, the “K.I.S.(Keep It Simple)” method is employed in order to implement a management plan that achieves the owners long range goals. When the management plan is approved by the owner, Western Agri Financial, Inc. facilitates the plan, by outsourcing to industry professionals the various aspects and requirements of the plan.
