Agribusiness

Agricultural business is big business. It has a significant economic impact on our region and the world. Over the years, TRP Sumner has developed specialized expertise to meet the unique tax, accounting and financial needs of agricultural and agri-related business clients. Our large and diverse client roster includes poultry, swine, cattle and dairy operations, producers of raw materials for textiles, fruit and vegetable growers, agri-tourism businesses and more. And it continues to grow. So much so, that we have created a “Farm Team” of accounting professionals to work with clients in this sector.

For our agricultural and agri-business clients, we offer much more than tax and accounting services tailored for your industry. With their specialized expertise, the accountants from our Farm Team will work with you, providing personalized advisory services to enhance your operation and address specific issues that may include:
