Let's Keep Farmers Farming
Let us ensure your operation’s success. Farms and ranches grow and change over time. Our Legacy Consultants work with you, as a facilitator, with no hidden agenda to sell you something. Our goal is to Keep Farmers FarmingSM and to help you define your legacy.
Let First Dakota National Bank help keep you farming. A great plan without action is no different than a poor plan. We can do this at our office, your kitchen table or an offsite facility. Talk with us about the benefits of Keep Farmers Farming.
Legacy Planning
Legacy is more than just transferring assets to the next generation (estate plan) in hopes that things hold together. It is the sharing of experience, work ethic, morals, and history.
Keep Farmers Farming will work with you, and all those involved, in the transition of your farm or ranch. Our only goal is to help you build pride in the legacy of your operation. We recognize that each operation is unique, so each transition plan we help create is tailor made for your situation.

Strategic Planning
The strategic planning process includes completing an analysis to define your operation's Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT). We'll help you and your stakeholders define goals and objectives and assist you to define action plans that will allow you to reach them.
Best Business Practices
Best Business Practices are an essential part of every operation, but also the easiest to put on the back burner. At First Dakota, we help you touch all aspects of the farm and ranch business, from improving financial management to helping resolve labor issues to improving efficiency and increasing our asset utilization.
Marketing
Volatile markets are an increasing part of agriculture so utilizing the tools available to manage the risk impact on your operation is more important today than ever. Our consultants work with your operation to learn about the tools available in the market and the impact those tools have on your operation so you can make a better educated decision when it comes to minimizing risk.
