Agricultural Operations We Support

UnCommon Farms delivers farm business coaching built around how your operation runs, covering financials, succession planning, HR, leadership, strategic planning, and risk management, backed by a farmer-owned team and a peer network of established operations across North America.

Why Operation-Specific Coaching Matters

A consultant who only understands row crop cash flow will misread a cow-calf operation’s herd economics or a vineyard’s establishment costs, and a stack of generic recommendations does nothing if nobody holds you to it. UnCommon Farms pairs farm business coaching with real accountability: financials, succession planning, HR, leadership development, strategic planning, and risk management built around your operation, with a coach who follows through on implementation instead of handing you a report and moving on.

Who We Serve

Whatever you run, there’s a coaching path built for it, because being the CEO of a feedlot looks nothing like being the CEO of a vineyard. The six areas of coaching stay the same for every operation, but which one comes first and how it gets applied depends on what you’re running. Find your type below to explore where that starts for you.

Row Crop Farms

Corn, soybean, and wheat operations get benchmarking built around consolidation pressure, input costs, and land economics.

Cattle Ranches

Herd economics and the generational transfer of grazing ground shape a succession plan built for cattle operations, alongside the leadership and management support that comes with running a ranch crew.

Feedlots

Feed cost volatility and tight margins call for financial discipline and risk management built around beef cattle production, not general livestock advice.

Dairy Farms

Daily cash flow, herd health investment, and labor scheduling all factor into how we build out your financials and HR strategy. We benchmark your numbers against comparable dairy operations.

Hog Farms

Production cycles and facility investment carry their own risk profile, and succession planning accounts for the equipment and facility value tied to the operation.

Specialty Crop Farms

Orchards, vineyards, and diversified vegetable operations get cost accounting built around perennial assets, seasonal labor, and per-plot economics.

Mixed Operations

Grain and cattle, or any combination of enterprises, means your financials and strategic plan have to account for more than one P&L at once, and the leadership structure has to hold multiple operations together. We build the plan around the whole operation, not just one piece of it.

Canadian Farm Operations

Canadian members get a dedicated HR consultant for labor and employment questions specific to Canada, along with a peer group made up entirely of other like-minded Canadian operations.

UnCommon Farms is farmer-owned and farmer-run, with a team of experts that understands what your operation is up against. Farm business coaching here means financials, succession planning, human resources, leadership, strategic planning, and risk management under one relationship, backed by a team with more than 1,000 years of combined agricultural experience and a peer network of operators working through the same challenges as you.

FAQs About Who We Serve

Does UnCommon Farms only work with row crop operations?

No. Membership and standalone services adapt to any type of farm operation, including cattle, dairy, hogs, specialty crops, mixed operations, and Canadian farms. The financials, succession planning, and HR strategy we build are specific to your operation.

Yes. Canadian members get a dedicated HR consultant for labor and employment questions specific to Canada, along with a peer group made up entirely of like-minded Canadian operations.

Most working farms don’t. If you run a mixed operation, whether that’s grain and cattle or several enterprises at once, your coaching plan is built around the full picture, not just one piece of it.

No. Standalone services are available without joining as a member, though many operations move into full membership once they see the value of an integrated coaching relationship.

The financial model, labor structure, and succession considerations all shift based on what you run, and coaching adjusts accordingly. A feedlot’s margin pressure calls for different financial discipline than a vineyard’s establishment costs, and your coach builds around whichever applies to you.
