Topic
America’s farmers and ranchers face a unique set of planning challenges unlike those of almost any other client segment. While many agricultural families have enjoyed significant increases in land values and overall net worth, they often remain constrained in their available liquidity. When you add in aging ownership, family dynamics, tax uncertainty, succession concerns, and volatile economic conditions, the planning landscape can become extraordinarily complex.

Join Jordan Skog, VP of Life Advanced Markets, Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America, as he presents the October installment of the Allianz Life Advanced Markets Spotlight Series. This session will feature an engaging and practical discussion on advanced planning strategies for agricultural clients and the important role life insurance can play in helping preserve family farms, facilitate business transitions, and create retirement flexibility.

Whether your clients own row-crop operations, livestock businesses, ranches, or multi-generational family farms, this session will provide actionable ideas you can bring into client conversations immediately. During this session, we’ll discuss:

  • Challenges facing ag clients today: The unique financial, tax, legal, and operational hurdles farmers and ranchers navigate
  • Economic and agricultural trends: Current conditions affecting planning strategies and risks
  • Special Use Valuation and Section 179: Planning opportunities and considerations for ag business planning
