2-Day workshop to cover Farm Transition.
March 11 and March 18 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM
This two session workshop is structured to help farm families develop a transition plan for the future, discover ways to increase family communication, and learn necessary strategies to successfully transfer management skills and the farm’s business assets from one generation to the next. This workshop will challenge farm families to actively plan for the future of the farm business. The workshop will involve some work and family conversation between the two session that will help move the farm farther along in the process of farm transition and succession.
