Succession Planning
Unfortunately, agriculture ranks among the most hazardous industries, according to the CDC. Based on this fact, planning for a “continuity plan” should be in place regardless of your intent to exit (or not exit) your farm.
An unplanned occurrence may leave you unable to manage your farm or physically work the land. To avoid a severe disruption, you need a solid contingency plan to ensure that you, your workers and family are well prepared for unexpected events.
Business Owner Planning
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates there are just over 2 million farms in the United States. As a farm owner, you need to consider what you will do with your farm when you reach retirement age. In many cases, it becomes a question of how to transition the operations and land to future generations with as little disruption as possible. In other cases, the solution is selling the operation and land to interested third parties. In either case, we can help you structure and implement a plan to help you toward your objectives.
