Our success story
Built here. Growing with Nebraska farmers.
Taten Uden started AgriStax near Hastings with a simple goal: help farmers find opportunities that make sense for the operation they already run. Today, AgriStax is working with producers representing more than 50,000 acres, with a $4.68 million pipeline of potential program funding those farmers are eligible to pursue.
The work starts with real fields and real records: FSA tracts, crop history, soil testing, nutrient management, irrigation, and grazing. We use LandOption to compare public and private opportunities, look for compatible programs, and turn the options into clear next steps.
For Taten, the number that matters is what a farmer keeps at the end of the year. That is what every review comes back to: the costs, the commitments, and whether an opportunity makes sense for your farm.

Tired of playing the program game?
AgriStax takes care of the research, program comparisons, paperwork, contacts, and deadlines so you can keep doing what you do best. We look for income opportunities that fit your land instead of forcing your operation to fit a program.
If an opportunity does not make sense for your farm, we will tell you. No runaround. No pressure. Just a clear look at what may be available, what it requires, and whether the numbers work.

Identify which programs may work together, which may conflict, and which combinations can improve the return.

Sample opportunity review
What could an AgriStax review actually look like?
This fictional example shows how we organize a farm review. It is not a client result, an offer, or a guarantee. Every opportunity must be verified against current rules, funding, location, history, and existing contracts.

Why AgriStax exists
You keep farming. We'll handle the program headache.
Founded by Taten Uden, AgriStax was built because valuable farm opportunities are often buried beneath changing rules, scattered offices, confusing paperwork, and deadlines that are easy to miss.
Our job is to understand your operation, do the digging, explain the honest upside and obligations, and help move the process forward. We will not recommend a program simply because it looks good on paper.
Based in South Central Nebraska. Serving Nebraska farmers, ranchers, and landowners.
South Central Nebraska farm-program help
Frequently asked questions.
Clear answers for farmers and ranchers about finding, comparing, stacking, and applying for agricultural programs and cost-share opportunities.
How do I find farm programs available in Nebraska?
Start with your local USDA Service Center or FSA office for official federal-program information. AgriStax can separately review your location, acreage, crops, livestock, current practices, and enrollment history to help identify and compare government and private opportunities that may fit your operation.
Is AgriStax my local FSA office?
No. AgriStax is an independent South Central Nebraska farm-program consulting business—not USDA or the Farm Service Agency. We help producers prepare for office visits, organize records, compare opportunities, and understand next steps. Official eligibility, enrollment, and payments remain with the applicable agency or program provider.
Can I get help applying for farm grants or cost-share programs?
Yes. AgriStax helps organize the opportunity review, required information, contacts, deadlines, and next steps. Final approval and payment are always controlled by the applicable program provider.
Are there payments for cover crops, no-till, grazing, or conservation practices?
Potential incentives may exist depending on your county, field history, planned practice, funding, and enrollment timing. We compare the likely payment with the real cost and commitment before recommending a next step.
Can multiple farm programs be used on the same acres?
Sometimes, but compatibility is not automatic. AgriStax reviews funding sources, contracts, acreage, dates, and practice requirements to identify conflicts before you enroll.
What area does AgriStax serve?
AgriStax is based in South Central Nebraska and works with Nebraska farmers, ranchers, and landowners. Contact us to confirm service for your county and operation.
What information do I need for a farm-program review?
Useful starting information includes your county, total acres, crops, livestock, field or FSA farm numbers, current practices, recent practice history, existing program contracts, and what changes you would realistically consider.
What does ‘powered by Landoption’ mean?
AgriStax is a Landoption Enrollment Partner. We use Landoption’s technology to analyze a broad program database, match opportunities to land attributes, goals, and location, develop game-plan options, and help track enrollment and compliance steps. AgriStax remains your local point of contact.
