“Joining forces with another farm can increase efficiencies or offer opportunities of scale,” advises Maxson Irsik of K·Coe Isom.

The Benefits of Mergers, Joint Ventures and Creative Partnerships:

  • Diversification of farm operations, land base, crops or livestock.
  • Build cash flow or grow market share.
  • Bolster the viability of your succession plan.
  • Bring greater financial returns.

But, advises Irsik, you should look before you leap.  “Like any other business endeavor, you’ll need to do your homework first.”
