Farm Transition Planning
In the next 15 years, many farms across the country will transition from one generation to the next. How that transition happens could be the difference between a farm continuing successfully, or not continuing at all. That is why farm transition and succession planning is so important, and why we completed an entire video series of experts covering different aspects of transition and succession.
The series of videos covers:
- What is Transition Planning? - Dr. Alex White, Virginia Tech
- Tax Considerations - Dr. Kantrovich, Clemson University
- Personalities and Team Work - Greta Halahan
