About Dehm Associates, LLC

Founded in 1991, Dehm Associates, LLC has worked with hundreds of growers, farmers, and producers to help them operate more profitably.

OUR MISSION

For growers, farmers and producers: The mission of Dehm Associates, LLC is to provide accurate, efficient, and user-friendly decision-making information in a timely fashion.


Bruce credits his ability to develop user-friendly reports and analyses to his experience in the Peace Corps. While serving in the Peace Corps, the cultural and language differences he experienced emphasized the importance of accurate and efficient communication. His Farming Systems Research and Extension training at the University of Florida provided a strong foundation and understanding of how the interrelationship of the biological, social, physical and economic environments impact the way crop and livestock farmers make decisions.

Many of the reports, benchmarks and analyses the firm produces are a direct response to the needs of its clients as they try to understand and improve the profitability of their farms. It is our mission at Dehm Associates to help farms of any size excel and preserve the farm for future generations with accurate and efficient user-friendly decision-making information.

Dehm Associates, LLC has offices located in Geneseo, New York and provides business services to dairy producers and others throughout the U.S.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our philosophy is simple.

A tiny seed contains all the instructions for a plant to germinate, grow and adapt itself to the environment. To achieve this, it uses roots, leaves and systematic biological processes.

This simple message Do the Right Job Consistently, contains almost all the instructions for operating a profitable farm. To achieve this, farm managers use information converted to knowledge to apply the right solution through systematic processes. Farmers that do this most effectively are the most profitable.

Discovering which right job farmers need to work on and then monitoring the results, is the role of Dehm Associates, LLC. We help farmers turn information into knowledge so that decisions that improve efficiency and profitability re made consistently.

The objective of the Dairy Dashboard™ family of reports and benchmarks is to simply and effectively communicate with producers the connection between their production processes and financial performance. Awareness of a problem is the first step in solving it.
