Dan Skuta - Running a Profitable Ranch Property

Now retired from the NFL, former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Dan Skuta turns much of his focus on his 700-acre Texas ranch – a property that plays host to a variety of hunting and corporate events every year.

And as the owner of a large ranch property, Daniel Skuta has come to appreciate what it takes not only to manage day-to-day operations, but the work that goes in making it profitable.

Turning a ranch into a producer requires:

• Matching costs with revenues. By keeping an ever-present eye on the margin between what is spent and what is pulled in every month, you can better predict and adapt to changes in that margin when they come.
  
  
• Plan for the worst. As a ranch manager, you must always ask yourself “what if?” By planning for disaster, you’ll be better protected should it ever hit.
