Episode 90 – Planning for the Future of Your Farm [Part 1]

Regardless of the size of your farm or the age of operators, we never know when the unexpected may occur. To ensure a farm lasts beyond the current generation, it is crucial that plans be laid. Because of the importance of this issue, we are dedicating three episodes to provide information on different pieces of a succession plan. For part 1, David Marrison, OSU Extension Educator in Coshocton County, joins us to discuss the different parts of a succession plan and how a farm can take the first steps in getting started. We are only able to touch briefly on these topics, so if you’d like to learn more from our guests, join one of the webinar or in-person sessions this winter. Find dates and locations at go.osu.edu/farmsuccession. This website also houses useful tools mentioned in the podcast.
