Land Stewardship Project Farm Transition Planning

If you (or you know someone who is) interested in developing future steps for your farm, or planning for the next generation of farmers on your land, or getting on the same page as a spouse/partner, or don’t know where to start the planning process, then the Land Stewardship Project Farm Transition Planning course is a great fit.

According to the Plainview News, the event will be held online from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays from Jan. 28 to March 18 (no class on March 11).

The focus will be on values and vision, financial and legal considerations, options for farm transitions, resources to guide the planning process, and communication tools.

Resource professionals, experienced landowners and LSP staff will present and guide the course.

This course will provide an opportunity to join with other farmers who are pondering their next transition steps, and to develop a vision while assessing future financial considerations.

“As a landowner, you have the power to determine the legacy of your land - that decision is the most important decision you can make,” said Bill McMillin, a retired Wabasha-area farmer who, with his wife, Bonnie, transitioned their family farm to a non-related beginning farmer-neighbor.
