Farm Safety Week - Planning for Future Generations

You’ve worked hard to build a successful farm business and you’re excited to have future generations carry on your legacy.

Succession planning for a farm can be a challenging and stressful process. Rather than postponing the inevitable, which may only lead to more problems in the long run, start succession planning early to lessen stress and conflict.

Keep all succession-related communication transparent and documented so that there is no uncertainty. You may even want to consider using a third-party facilitator to help ease tough discussions and aid in the decision making process.

Having open and respectful conversations around succession planning will go a long way in alleviating stress and help set future generations, and your farm, up for success.
