Upcoming Webinar
The Importance of Farm Financial Benchmarking
How well is your farm doing? What are the areas requiring improvement? How do you stack up against similar operations? Farming is more than just putting a crop in and taking it off. Ensuring that you have adequate margins and are meeting costs of production is just as important as meeting yield goals. Our panellists will discuss the importance of having a benchmarking tool and how to leverage your numbers when making your marketing decisions. We will also be discussing the importance of farm peer groups and explore why this is an important consideration for farms of all sizes.
Panellists:
- Terry Betker, President & Founder at Backswath Management, Director at Farmcaster
- Josée Lemoine, CEO at Backswath Management, Director at Farmcaster
- Lawrence Klusa, President & Founder of Seges Marketing
- Robert Saik, Founder and CEO of AGvisorPRO

Featured Company
Area One Farms
Area One Farms is a company that helps producers obtain more capital, without the risk while building equity partnerships to enable producers to be able to expand without fees, rent, or interest payments.
Area One Farms bridges the gap between agriculture and equity – helping quality Canadian farmers expand their operations in a stable and committed partnership.
Area One Farms has been operating since 2013. They bring together committed and skillful investors and innovative farmers together to be able to invest and expand farmers’ landbase, while keeping the farmer as the owner. Over the years, Area One Farms has found that one of the main issues in today’s agriculture world is farmers’ management abilities outstrip their financial capacity. In addition to this, many Canadian farmers need to expand to ensure profitability, but there is a lack of access to long-term capital that is provided without significant risk.
Renting land exposes farms to real estate market fluctuations and keeps farmers from being able to plan for the long-term. For a large capital acquisition, bank interest payments put a heavy burden on operations. On the other hand, ownership groups corporatize the farm operation and turn farmers from owners into managers. Area One aims to give farmers a third alternative: an equity partner.
The partnership process has some specific instructions that are required, but thankfully they provide nothing but quality investors to help you navigate through these crucial steps. Area One Farms mission is to invest with farmers to; acquire land and related assets to achieve critical scale, improve land to maximize productivity, add value, sustain assets, and manage for profitability.
