Ag View Solutions
Consulting Services
We often hear “I’m in a bit of a unique situation” or “We have a huge challenge/opportunity facing us that I’m not sure we can handle”; we work specifically with these types of situations, as well as more routine or normal scenarios such as transition planning, business structuring, strategic growth, and more. Ultimately, we want to provide you the most value and get your operation moving towards its goals. We work with farms in 22 states and several Canadian provinces, and our team of experts continues to grow to help you with many of your needs
Our Structure
We work with farm operations on an annual basis, and a full-day meeting. We encourage operations to come to us for the first meeting to take time to work ‘on’ the business and not be ‘in’ the business, but we can also travel to your location. In the full day meeting we solve key items on your agenda, put a plan in place moving forward, and work with you throughout the year to implement your plan of action and for key follow-up and key resources proprietary to Ag View Solutions.

What We Don’t Do
We like to joke that we are not Attorneys, CPAs, or Insurance Agents, but we could play them on TV! We act as the conduit between everyone on your strategic resource team to create the best environment for success in your business needs. We also don’t do data entry or financial services. We do, however, utilize Profit Manager to help you with improving your business decision-making, and fully separate that with the purchase of the program.
