Tina Barrett

Director/Farm Financial Consultant

I am originally from Hordville, Nebraska (North of the Interstate between York and Aurora) where I grew up on a family farm. The operation consists of mostly irrigated corn and soybeans. I certainly learned a lot about the diversity of agriculture when I married a Panhandle native where farming is so much different than where I grew up!

I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in May of 1999 with a degree in Agriculture Economics and an emphasis in Farm and Ranch Management. I started as a consultant with Nebraska Farm Business after graduation and have also been the executive director since 2002. I thoroughly enjoy working with clients all across the state helping to solve their financial needs and best manage their tax liabilities.

My husband, Anthony and I, have been married since 1998 and have four very active girls, Taylor, Natalie, Carly, and Anna at home.

Anthony Barrett

Farm Financial Consultant

I grew up on a cow/calf and dryland grain farm near Harrisburg, NE. My parents are still active in that operation raising wheat, proso millet, corn, and forage crops for haying and grazing. I graduated from UNL in 2000 with a BS in Diversified Agriculture. I started with Nebraska Farm Business, Inc. on a part time basis after I graduated and became a Farm Financial Consultant in November 2002.

I passed the Enrolled Agent exam in 2009 which allows me to represent clients before the IRS. I currently practice with a full client load offering accounting, tax preparation, W-2 & 1099 preparation, full payroll service, bill pay, and farm financial analysis. NFBI specializes in farm analysis and farm taxation, working with clients throughout the great state of Nebraska.

My wife, Tina, and I are part owners of NFBI. We have four daughters! In our spare time (however much there may be) we love taking road trips and have driven to all 48 lower states with our kids. We also stay busy with school activities and enjoy attending Nebraska volleyball games. I also very much enjoy helping on our family’s farms. Harvest is my favorite time of year and I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to help family, friends, or clients at harvest time. One of my favorite places to be is in the seat of a combine or tractor!
