Since its establishment in 1929, the company has grown into a leading provider of landowner services across nearly 30 states. With this latest expansion, it continues to strengthen its position in the agricultural sector.
The transition has been carefully planned to ensure a smooth experience for landowners. Clients will benefit from a wider range of services, including management, advisory support, and strategic planning designed to improve farm productivity and long-term value.
"This acquisition aligns with our mission to provide solutions that improve profitability and long‑term value for landowners," said Grant Fitzgerald, Senior Vice President – Farm and Ranch Management at Farmers National Company. "We are committed to building on this foundation and expanding the level of support and expertise available to these clients."
