Fischer Farm Services has been managing agricultural investments in the Mississippi Delta for over 30 years. We are in the business of finding and selling excellent investment grade farmland to investors. Fischer Farm Services then manages the property for the new owner.

The newly purchased plantation is leased to experienced farmers, known as tenants. The tenants own all of the necessary equipment and furnish all crop expenses. For the use of the land, the farmer pays the landowner a crop share of 25% to 28% of all crops produced and harvested.

The landowner's only obligation is the upkeep of the farm and its improvements. Improvements include irrigation wells, drainage ditches, farm roads, equipment sheds and shops, and any tenant / farm labor housing that the plantation may own.

Management duties of Fischer Farm Services include:

• The selection and employment of the tenant
• The negotiation and the closing of the farm lease contract
• Presentation of the yearly crop plans with budgets and detailed income and expense projections
• Organization and supervision of additional investments in land, installations, and buildings if needed and approved by landowner
• Supervision of the proposed crop plans and the progress of the crop harvest
• Marketing the landowner's share of the crops
• Maintaining the records for the farming operation, including the preparation of the data used by CPA for the yearly tax return
• Representation of the landowner at the United States Department of Agriculture for participation in various farm programs
• Furnishing reports to the landowner, including financial statements, crop progress, harvest results, etc.
• Make arrangements with tenant to maintain the fertility of the Plantation according to soil tests

Our decisions and practices ensure the agricultural investor receives the best possible long-term return. We pride ourselves in building long-standing relationships with our clients, some going back over 20 years.
