Thinking About Farm Succession

Thinking about Farm Succession? You know you should make plans for the future of the farm, but maybe you’re not sure where to start. Or maybe you’ve had a few conversations with your family or farming partners, but that conversation drifts to other more pressing matters about the operation. It is common for farmers to push farm succession planning to the back of their minds. It isn’t something that farmers do every year, so finding the time and knowing where to start can be hurdles that seem too high to cross. In this workshop, Joy Kirkpatrick and Kelly Wilfert, both Extension Farm Management Outreach Specialists, will provide a framework to help farms to identify legal risks in farm succession and estate planning and to begin those first conversations around succession planning. Lakeshore College Agribusiness Instructor, Lyndsay Burmesch, is partnering with the Division of Extension to host this workshop at the Cleveland Lakeshore College campus.
