Farming in Eastern Europe

I am a farmer with a small farm (approx. 100 acres) farm from the Czech Republic.
I recently heard about several companies which offer, so called, comprehensive farming solutions for small farms (i.e. soil prep., financing package, greenhouses, irrigation systems, on-site guidance, etc. - all in the sake of increasing the per-acre profit).

I must admit that some of these companies do sound like they have interesting things to offer those farmers (like me), who don't enjoy the same resources big farms have...

The bottom line is that I'm desperately looking into various ways to develop my farm, and more so, increase my profits. Unfortunately, I haven't' really succeeded in doing so alone, using only my experience and best judgment.

Anybody else heard about companies offering such services? What do you say? Is it something worth trying?

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Following my first post above, I'm attaching some kind of a (long...) paper I got from a company named SilkWater, which is one of the companies I was talking about.

What do you say?

Wouldn't be too sure about this. Any flier that talks about financing before anything else, usually means you are going to be parting with a good chunk of your cash!

I don't mind paying for getting good value in return. The only question is if this company can really increase my profits... Otherwise, you're absolutely right - I'll be parting with a good chunk of my cash...
