Please join us for a review and discussion of important farm succession planning topics. We will discuss how to get started with the process, provide introduction to transfer techniques and instruments, and consider questions that need to be answered to begin to move forward with a farm transition. We will learn some basics about conservation agreements and how they can be used within a farm succession process. We will also hear from Michigan Farm Link, a group that works to connect farmers seeking land with landowners looking to lease or sell to farmers. A farmer panel will discuss their experiences navigating the challenges of farm transfers.
