Your Farm. Your Family. Your Future.
Farming and ranching are more than a business—they’re a legacy. At Balefire, we work alongside agricultural families to protect that legacy with tailored financial strategies, risk mitigation, and long-term planning that honor both the land and the people behind it.
Our team understands that wealth management for agricultural operations is unique. Instead of focusing solely on traditional investments, we take a holistic approach that accounts for land valuation, succession planning, tax strategies, and the complexities of agribusiness finances.
How We Can Help
We help plan for land acquisitions, equipment investments, and expansion opportunities while optimizing cash flow to support sustainable growth.
Our strategies are built for sustainability and profitability—not just growth for growth’s sake.
Nearly 98% of U.S. farms are family-owned, yet only 12% make it to the third generation, and just 1 in 10 have a written succession plan. With two-thirds of farmland set to change hands in the next 20 years, the risk of losing both land and legacy is real.
Succession often breaks down not over assets—but over communication and unresolved family dynamics. We understand the emotional complexity and help families navigate it through structured dialogue that builds trust, clarity, and fairness.
Passing down a farm is more than transferring ownership—it’s preserving a way of life. Our process ensures a smooth transition, protects what matters, and honors the heritage behind every acre.
With farm income fluctuating from year to year in the US, strategic business planning is more important than ever.
Balefire helps farm and ranch owners explore ways to diversify revenue streams, protecting their operations from market volatility and creating new growth opportunities. Our team takes a comprehensive approach, considering options such as:
- Agritourim
- Renewable energy projects
- Leasing unused land for alternative crops or solar/wind
Weather, markets, and regulation are outside your control—your planning shouldn’t be. Our team will work with you to identify potential risks and implement mitigation plans, including:
- Liability protection
- Insurance design
- Debt coverage plannning
More than 2,000 acres of farmland are lost to development every day. Let’s make sure yours isn’t next.
With 60% of small farms relying on off-farm income, tax planning becomes even more important. We help you implement:
- Farm income averaging
- Tax-loss harvesting
- Conservation easements
- Succession tax strategies (up to 40% exposure without planning)
Farm and ranch owners can take advantage of farm tax deductions to reduce their taxable income and preserve working capital.
Balefire supports agribusiness owners with tax optimization and planning services, using strategies such as farm income averaging, tax-loss harvesting, and conservation easements.
Strategic land and resource management is key to keeping agribusinesses sustainable. Balefire helps farm and ranch owners optimize land use through sustainable initiatives, rights management, and long-term planning that preserves natural resources while maintaining profitability.
