Why Agricultural Families Choose Down Home Financial Services

We know you by name and treat you like family. Your advisor, Ty, understands your industry, your challenges, and your goals. No matter where our company goes, our word and a handshake are all you need.

Meet Your Advisor, Ty McDonald

Ty's connection to agriculture begins with his grandparents on his mother's side, they were wheat farmers who understood something that many farming families struggle with today: the importance of planning for the next generation. While many farm families of their era put everything back into the operation, Ty's grandparents took a different approach.

This early exposure to successful farm transition planning shaped Ty's understanding of what's possible when families plan ahead. He 's seen how proper planning can honor both families who want to continue farming, and those who choose different paths, without forcing anyone to sacrifice their financial security.

I'm not a farmer or rancher. Can you still help me?

Absolutely. While 70% of our clients are in farming and ranching, we also work with agriculture professionals and families who simply appreciate our down-home approach. Good financial planning principles apply across different situations, and we focus on providing personal attention to each of our clients.

Do you only do farm succession planning?

Not at all. While farm and ranch succession planning is one of our specialties, we provide comprehensive financial planning services including: retirement planning, investment management, tax planning, insurance planning, Medicare planning, Social Security planning, and education funding. We look at your complete financial picture to make sure everything works together.

Do you understand the tax situations that farmers face?

Yes, we work closely with agricultural tax professionals and understand the unique opportunities and challenges that come with farm and ranch taxation. From Section 199A deductions to depreciation strategies, we help coordinate your overall financial plan with your tax planning. We don't prepare taxes ourselves, but we work with your tax advisor so that your tax plan aligns with your overall financial plan.
