An Illinois-based cooperative that specializes in financial management and accounting services for farmers has expanded into Indiana with locations in West Lafayette and Indianapolis.
Farm Business Farm Management, which marked its 100th anniversary last year, serves about 5,000 farmers across Illinois out of more than 30 locations. Operating in collaboration with the University of Illinois, the organization assists farmers with record keeping, financial analysis and farm business management.
The new West Lafayette office is located at 1281 Win Hentschel Boulevard. In Indianapolis, the location is 9840 Westpoint Drive. The offices opened in January.
“We’re proud to build on our 100-year heritage and help more farmers in a state like Indiana that’s so important to American agriculture,” FBFM Regional Vice President David Yandell said in a news release. “Keep an eye out for our official office opening in southern Indiana. We’re looking forward to meeting the hardworking Hoosier farmers in the region.”
Indiana is the ninth largest farming state in the U.S. with more than 53,000 farming operations, according to the Indiana State Department of Agriculture.
