What’s farm succession planning?

It’s the process of transitioning your farm business, land and/or other farm assets from one farm operator(s) to the next. It can include transferring ownership, skills, knowledge, and management roles. It's an important process to consider when retiring or stepping back from farming, and it can be complex and take many years.

Whether you think you’ll be farming for decades more or think retirement may be in the near future, now is a great time to start your farm succession plan!

‍

This workshop is for you if you:

Are a farm business owner

Have been wanting to start your succession planning process but aren’t sure where to start

Are at the beginning of your planning process

Are interested to hear other farmers’ experiences when thinking about the future of their farm

Are looking for manageable action steps to take to move the planning process forward

‍

The day will include an overview of succession planning, assessing your farm transfer situation, creating visions and goal-setting, and generating an action plan. It will also include a panel of farmers who will share their personal successes and challenges with their farm transfer experience.

Lunch will be provided. Reimbursements for expenses related to attending workshops are available (mileage, childcare, relief labor, etc.). Please register by November 25th.

This workshop was organized in collaboration with Land For Good.
