Farm Sector Economics (FSE) is a consulting firm specializing in farm sector financial analysis, macroeconomic linkages to agriculture, commodity economics
and farm policy analysis. The firm's founder and president, Dr. Paul T.
Prentice, has over 20 years experience and is a recognized leader in the
field. FSE brings a unique sector-wide perspective to agricultural economics
and financial analysis.
We forecast macroeconomic variables, analyze monetary/fiscal policies, and
link these to sector-wide agricultural and financial indicators. We also
generate alternative planning scenarios for agribusiness and financial institutions.
Our expertise covers the entire spectrum of macroeconomic analysis, agricultural
finance, and commodity economics and farm policy.
In addition to sector-wide financial and economic analysis, we also conduct
firm-level analysis. We provide the analytical framework necessary for profitable
decision-making as agriculture's future unfolds.
