The second episode of “Leave a Legacy” is in the can---recorded and ready for editing. As I pen this entry, I’m sitting at Midway in Chicago waiting for a plane, and recounting the preceding days. It’s been another whirlwind tour filled with rehearsals, presentations, meetings, tapings and study.  

The Farm Journal Legacy Project is an all-consuming labor of love. This outreach will change the world for each and every person involved… 

-  For those working on the inside---at Farm Journal Media, Pioneer and Legacy by Design…

-  For those who participate on an information level---viewers of AgDay/US Farm Report, readers of Farm Journal and Top Producer, net users at AgWeb, and workshop participants…

- And, obviously, for those families who choose to take a constructive role in creating and implementing a succession plan. 

Succession is a life-altering process. Some engagements can be as simple as an ownership transition and retirement planning. Others involve a complete remodel of a family’s financial security, legal foundation and business structure---in addition to the requisite ownership transition and leadership development. Either way, the benefits are innumerable and, with refinement, ‘succession’ becomes an effective method of business development---eventually permeating the fabric of the operation’s culture.
