The problem and planned program to respond

Farmers of all disciplines recognize the need to plan for the transition of the farm to the next generation. However even with the best plan on paper, actually attracting the next generation to stay or come back to the family farm can be challenging at times. The planning committee looked to address those issues by discussing topics such as estate planning, on farm diversification of crops and diversification of marketing for existing crops, as well as general ownership transition planning.
