Farm Succession Planning Part of Workshop Series
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 12/22/2014

The University of Wisconsin Center for Dairy Profitability, as well as UW-Extension and UW-Platteville are offering a workshop to help farm families plan for a son, daughter or partner to return to the farm and eventually take over the farm business. The four-day workshop will be offered on the UW-Platteville campus on January 16-7 and February 13-14.

Families looking toward the future of their farming operations have many issues to consider. Two issues of extreme importance to the future life of the business are the development of a son, daughter, or partner to be the future manager of the business and the creation of a succession plan. The Returning to the Farm workshop helps families make these plans.

Returning to the Farm is open to all farm businesses who want to learn more about planning for farm succession. Participants are expected to participate in both sessions. At the end of the February session, families will have several components of a succession plan completed.

The registration fee for this four-day program is $300 per farming unit (up to four people per farm). This includes materials, meeting room costs, refreshment breaks and lunches. The registration deadline is January 9. If you have more than four people in your farming unit attending the workshop, $75 will be charged for each additional participant.

For more information about the program or to register contact the Center for Dairy Profitability Outreach Specialist at 608-263-3485.
