Thinking about the future can feel overwhelming, but planning ahead helps make sure your hard work continues to support future generations and the agricultural community. If you own a farm, ranch, or forest, we have a free five-part video series, Transition Planning for Farmers, Ranchers and Foresters, to help you get started on the right track.
The video series introduces planning for the future of your operation. This is just the beginning—creating a transition plan takes time and effort. But with the right resources, whether you take a detailed class or hire a consultant, you can feel confident knowing you have a plan in place.
Our video series covers different transition options, like keeping ownership for a while or selling or gifting parts of your property. As you watch, you’ll use worksheets to help you think about your values and goals. You will also identify strengths in your business and build a team of experts and loved ones to help make this transition a success.
Following these steps will give you a solid foundation to keep moving forward with this important part of your future. While it may be challenging, completing a plan will provide you with peace of mind and a clear path ahead.
