You’re a farmer and you have questions about investments, financial planning or a foreign project. Whether you are considering a business division or acquisition. Hein-Willem Leeraar & partners advises farmers about money. We help farmers for years with great success.
Together with its authorized partners Hein-Willem Leeraar is engaged in innovative and experimental developments in agriculture. The research on maize under film as a promising new cultivation technique is a good example.
My name is Hein-Willem Leeraar. I have worked as a consultant for agricultural entrepreneurs for more than 20 years. Before that, I worked in the international agricultural education (International Agricultural Centre in Wageningen, Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality) for more than seven years. I then worked for the De Landbouw Voorlichting (Agricultural Extension Service) (DLV), and then as a managing director of the agricultural team of Credion. Since 1 November 2006, I’ve had my own company, Hein-Willem Leeraar & partners.
Our motto is:
Talking about money matters is a matter of trust.
Giving advice on money matters is a matter of knowledge and experience.
The intensity of our involvement in innovation and experimental developments together with various partners and participants is ever increasing. We communicate the results of these R&D activities via publications in various printed media, via internet portals and our own website of course. A good example of this is the project whereby we investigate the potential of (forage) maize under film as a promising new cultivation technique.
