BEATRICE, Neb -- Nebraska producers and agribusiness leaders have an opportunity to gain valuable insights into land ownership and business strategies at an upcoming event hosted by the Nebraska Farmers Network. The meeting is set for March 13th at 4 p.m. at the Countryside Event Center, just outside of Beatrice.

Gabe Sanchez, founder of Nebraska Farmers Network, says the organization was created to help keep Nebraska land in the hands of local farmers and ranchers.

"We're sick and tired of the roller coaster ride of good years and bad years in agriculture. And we're just going to take a different approach—it all starts with the land," said Sanchez. "We're seeing out-of-state billionaires, private equity groups, even foreign entities buying up farmland, making it harder for local producers to compete."

The March 13th meeting will focus on strategies to help Nebraska producers stay competitive against corporate and foreign investors. Attendees will learn about tax strategies such as 1031 exchanges, Statutory Trusts, and 831B micro-captive insurance options, all aimed at increasing cash flow and securing land ownership for future generations.

Key speakers include Lou Reynolds, CEO of NFN Farm Exchange, who has helped families move over $2 billion in capital to avoid paying unnecessary taxes, as well as Ted Long and Van Carlsen of Strategic Relations Advising, who will discuss self-insurance options that could save farmers and ranchers hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"Instead of writing checks to big insurance companies and getting nothing back, we're showing producers how to create their own micro-agency and start receiving refund checks instead," Sanchez explained.

With over 425 members, the Nebraska Farmers Network is focused on giving producers the tools to operate their farms like a business and compete with corporate agriculture. Sanchez encourages anyone in the industry to attend.
