Testimonials
“Rooster Ag has done a fantastic job creating great relationships with the best farmers who lease our property. They make sure that they take diligent care of our soils with fertilization and confirm that this is done annually so these properties stay productive for decades to come.”
“They (Rooster Ag’) also manage setting up and writing our annual leases with our farmers, making sure to get the right rent rate per acre. They do an excellent job watching the grain markets to make sure we pull the trigger at the best time. They really get into the weeds on rent projections to accurately calculate the best ROI for each farm.”
“I have worked with Rooster Ag for many years and have never had a bad experience. They have been very professional and fair. It has been a pleasure to work with the team.”
“As a customer of Rooster Ag, all I can say is that their business has done a spectacular job for our family. The owner, Joe Ludwig, started working with my father back in 2009 to help acquire farmland and manage it for him.”… “We genuinely appreciate all that you have done for our family and look forward to Rooster managing our farming business for decades to come!”
Farm Management Services
Rooster Ag’ Farm Management is dedicated to making the entire farm leasing process hassle-free. Our experienced team will make sure that every need and task is handled for you while keeping the integrity of your farm and your bottom line in mind. Our services include:
Lease Negotiation
Using our specific farm formula, we work with tenants to ensure fair fact-based leases that protect the integrity of the land, the landowner, and the tenant for generations to come.
Manage Fertilizer Application Requirements
Part of protecting the land for generations to come is to ensure that the tenants are using the correct fertilizer and the right amounts. We work with both the landowner and tenants to make sure that all agreed-upon terms are being upheld.
Manage Insurance Requirements
We understand that life can sometimes throw unexpected curveballs. That’s why we ensure all tenants have proper liability coverage in place to allow their operations to thrive.
Collect & Distribute Rents
We coordinate payments from the tenant and distribute them to the landowner providing a hassle-free experience for both landowner and tenants alike.
Collect Yield Data
Yield data effects cash leases, crop insurance, fertilizer application, and more. We collect each field’s yield data and apply it to the farm’s 10-year running average ensuring your field’s progress is being tracked appropriately.
Farm Scouting Report
We visit each farm several times annually to inspect general farming practices, waterways, and tile conditions. Additionally, we make recommendations for value-added improvements.
