Bringing the Next Generation on the Farm

Dan Bean, CMA Consulting
[Handout: INDIVIDUAL pLANNING]

Family business farmers must select the one or two people in the next generation that can successfully lead and own the farm, but who is that? Then they may need to invite/attract that family member into the family business. That’s when the real work of transitioning leadership, enhancing governance, and finally transitioning ownership comes into play. There can be conflict at any step in the process. This full-day seminar will provide you with models, frameworks, and expert advice for completing this process; allow you to collect and record your thoughts at key points; and allow you to learn from your peers. Questions and sidebar conversations with the presenter are encouraged.
