Agreement to Manage Farm - This form is an agreement to manage a farm. The manager represents and acknowledges that he is an independent contractor.

This agreement is not one of agency by manager for owner, but one with manager engaged independently in the business of managing properties as an independent contractor.
Farm Hand Services Contract - This is an agreement between a farmer or employer and a farm hand whereby the employer hires the farm hand as an independent contractor to perform various farm related duties as agreed upon in the contract.
Farmer's Tax Guide - This is a free bonus publication providing detailed tax information related to farm operations.
Security Agreement with Farm Products as Collateral - In a security agreement, the debtor grants a "security interest" in the personal property in order to secure payment of the loan. Granting a security interest in personal property is the same thing as granting a lien in personal property. This form is a sample of a security agreement in farm products that may be referred to when preparing such a form for your particular state.
Farm Lease - This form is a lease agreement for farm land. The lessor will pay all ad valorem taxes assessed against the leased property. The lessee shall pay all taxes assessed against all personal property located on the premises and will also pay all privilege, excise and other taxes duly assessed. The lessee will pay the taxes when due so as to prevent the assessment of any late fees or penalties.

It offers a range of services and incentives to assist farmers, ranchers, and agricultural businesses in the state. The package aims to enhance the sustainability, productivity, and profitability of farms while conserving natural resources and preserving rural communities. One of the key components of the South Carolina Farm Package is financial assistance. This includes grants, low-interest loans, and tax credits that farmers can utilize for various purposes, such as purchasing or upgrading equipment, expanding operations, implementing sustainable practices, or diversifying into new agricultural enterprises. These financial incentives play a crucial role in boosting farm viability, especially for small-scale farmers and start-up ventures. Another aspect of the South Carolina Farm Package is the provision of technical and educational services. The Department of Agriculture offers training programs, workshops, and seminars to help farmers improve their knowledge and skills in areas such as crop production, animal husbandry, pest management, soil conservation, and business management. There are also resources available for farmers to stay informed about market trends, technological advancements, and regulatory changes affecting the agriculture sector. To encourage environmental stewardship, the South Carolina Farm Package promotes conservation practices. It provides cost-share programs to assist farmers in implementing measures that protect water quality, prevent soil erosion, and enhance wildlife habitat. These initiatives not only benefit the environment but also contribute to the long-term sustainability of farms by improving soil health and reducing input costs. In addition, there are specific South Carolina Farm Packages tailored to different types of agricultural operations. For example, there are packages focused on supporting livestock farmers, organic producers, specialty crop growers, aquaculture ventures, and agro-tourism businesses. Each package offers targeted resources and incentives to address the unique needs and challenges faced by these specific sectors within the agriculture industry. Overall, the South Carolina Farm Package aims to foster a thriving and resilient agricultural sector in the state. Through financial assistance, technical support, and conservation initiatives, it seeks to empower farmers, stimulate rural economies, and ensure the availability of safe and sustainable locally-grown food for South Carolina residents.
