Intensive Financial Management and Planning Support (IFMAPS) provides specially trained financial specialists to work one-on-one with Oklahoma farm and ranch families in developing sound financial plans. Specialists arrange a mutually convenient time and place (often the producer's home) to meet.
Who uses IFMAPS?
IFMAPS assistance is requested by producers considering a change in their operation as well as those simply wanting to get a better handle on their finances. The program helps farm and ranch families to:
Accurately evaluate the financial status of the agricultural business.
Analyze the financial effects of changes in government programs.
Identify and assess the options available to the family and business to improve a financial situation:
IFMAPS assistance is free to Oklahoma farm and ranch families. However, the producer must provide information and assemble records to support the plan. Information shared with the financial specialist remains strictly confidential.
