End-of-year reviews or Farm Service Agency (FSA) audits can be stressful. FSA randomly selects farming operations to be audited, and one of my clients was recently selected. He was worried about what he would need to do to ensure his program payments were secured for the year of review. I was able to provide him a detailed listing of documents I needed to review.

Much to my surprise, he showed up at my office with totes and boxes of old receipts, old statements and a sad look on his face. We took each tote and box one-by-one and found what was needed for submission. Once his paperwork was organized, his frown turned around. After several days of sorting, scanning and organizing, I produced a submission binder with all the information needed. He passed his end-of-year review, and we worked to get him set up on a more effective automated system.

I pride myself on building lifetime relationships with clients by meeting them where they are in their agribusiness journey, navigating challenges and providing positive outcomes.
