Even the best farmers can come up against hurdles to a smooth farm business transfer. In this advanced level workshop, we will address some common issues a service provider may encounter when trying to help a farm business transition from one generation to another. Presenters will touch on topics including assessing and developing capacity of potential successors, business valuation, and how to address non-farming heirs. This will all be discussed within the context of the financial, legal and tax implications of these complex transitions. Participants are encouraged to come with case situations they are working through and general questions as well as resources and tools which they find useful.
