Feel stuck, stymied, or a bit confused when it comes to succession?

If your farm or agribusiness is the most valuable asset you own, representing multiple generations, countless seasons of commitment, your family’s heritage and a promising future, what would it be worth to ensure it remains a viable family operation for the next generation?

• Better understand the succession planning process
• Define your objectives, and the goals that will guide your efforts
• Plan for communication, to improve communication and constructive conversation
• Explore the most common obstacles every family faces
• Make a commitment to take the ‘next step’ toward fulfilling your dreams

The agenda is based on years of experience working with farm families from coast to coast. The tools and material are derived from research and practical application. And, best of all, the workshop is offered in a very interactive format to ensure that your questions are answered and your concerns are addressed.

It was great to share succession planning information today at our inaugural workshop in Middleton, Wisconsin.  I hope to see you tomorrow in Owatonna or  on Thursday in Sioux Falls.
