In some ways, issues facing women farmers are not that much different from those facing their male counterparts. However, the Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency says it assists many women who experience barriers that hinder them from becoming successful farmers or ranchers. http://content.mcmurryis.com/pnc/ag/Women_in_Agriculture.mp3 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 00:00:00 GMT 5:21 clean Women, Agriculture Census, Farm Service Agency, Women in Agribusiness Summit, Joy Shaughnessy, Farm Service Agency County Office Committee, National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Agriculture Risk Management Education and Funding Outreach, Assistance for Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers, Success, Barrier, Brand, Communication, Network, Networking, Benefits, Minority, Identity, Commodities, Product, Advertising, Strategy, Service, Community, Business, Farming, Farm, Agribusiness, Agriculture, PNC Bank, Business Insights PNC Bank PNC Bank: Agriculture Perhaps the best example of cross-selling comes from a certain fast-food chain that asks, "Would you like fries with that?" The logic behind this phrase applies to all businesses: Customers who buy one of your products are likely to be interested in additional items that complement their original purchase.

Young job seekers often look elsewhere: Due in large part to consolidation and automation, agriculture employment has dropped from 41% of the U.S. workforce at the start of 20th century to less than 2% at the start of the 21st, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report. Yet the USDA estimates that more than 20,000 agriculture jobs go unfilled each year.

At the same time, valuing a farm — with its land, buildings and expensive equipment — can be complex. From securing credit, to planning an estate and paying taxes, to setting rental fees, selling the operation or passing it along to the next generation, there is a variety of legal advice and appraisal guidance needed to help figure it all out. This podcast shares strategies for assessing the total value of a farming business. http://content.mcmurryis.com/pnc/ag/AG_TipsToAccuratelyValueYourFarm.mp4 Mon, 3 Mar 2017 00:00:00 GMT 4:20 clean PNC, Banking, Agriculture, Farming, Farm Valuation, Succession Planning, Farm Appraisal, Farming Equipment, Retirement Planning, Agribusiness, Estate Planning, Tax Advice, Business Appraisal, Independent Appraisal, Capitalization Rate, Licensed Appraiser, State Trained Appraiser, Records Keeping, Production Harvest, Harvesting Equipment, Planting Equipment, Farm Machinery, Tractors, Irrigation Equipment, Harvester, Front End Loader PNC Bank PNC Bank: Agriculture Crop insurance has a new plan. Margin protection can help farmers mitigate commodity price fluctuations, operating margin challenges and other known risks in agriculture. In the past, there were only a few plans that covered natural disasters (or the crop yield) or revenue and sales — as well as area protection for the farm. MPP, as it’s known in the insurance industry, is not available in every state. PNC Bank spoke with Michael Vallery, a farmer and partner at Vallery and Dorn Insurance, about the plan details and availability (there is an enrollment window). Vallery also shares the select growing states where the plan is available. http://content.mcmurryis.com/pnc/ag/ProtectingYourFarmWithMPP_CC_11.16_FINAL.mp4 Fri, 17 Nov 2017 00:00:00 GMT 5:11 clean PNC, Banking, Agriculture, Farming, Farming Risk, Risk Mitigation, Crop Insurance, Crop Yield, Yield Protection Plan, YP, Revenue Protection Plan, RP, Area Protection Plan, Area Risk Protection Insurance, ARPI, Margin Protection Plan, MPP, Vallery and Dorn Insurance, USDA, Risk
