Farm Transition

Author: Keenan Bishop

Planning Unit: Franklin County CES

Major Program: Farm Management, Economics and Policy

Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

A local farm had made a living for decades offering horse riding lessons, boarding and trail trail riding. Over the years they had been involved with Extension regularly and even hosted two Field Days.

Prior to covid they transitioned their main enterprise to boarding polo horses. When events shut down all the owners eventually withdrew their horses and the family had to find a new source of income.

Working with Extension and utilizing loaner equipment from the office they decided to start a bottle calf operation and remain on their family farm
