Succession planning entails more than having the right tax strategies and estate documents in place. It’s also about relationships. Transitioning the farm from one generation to the next can be a rocky process, even for closest-knit families. If you’re experiencing conflict or tension along the way — or anticipating it — you’re not alone. 

 

Join Compeer Financial for an AgriMindset webinar on February 18 at 1:00 p.m. for a practical, people-focused approach to transition planning.

 

Guest speaker Brooke D. Starks will break down the top five topics that most often create tension during the handoff to the next generation. From communication breakdowns to conflicting expectations, this session examines barriers farm families face and how to work through them together.

 

What you’ll learn

  • Common challenges and misconceptions that arise when transitioning the farm to the next generation
  • Practical strategies for resolving conflict and closing communication gaps
  • How to reframe generational differences as strengths while working toward shared goals

Who should attend

  • Farmers preparing to pass the reins to the next generation
  • Rising farmers stepping into leadership roles for the first time
  • Family members who are supporting the transition process

Can’t attend live? Register anyway. We’ll send you the recording so you can watch when it’s convenient for you.
