Farm Succession and Access Workshops in Oregon
Farm Succession and Access Workshops in Oregon from Rouge Farm Corps – April, 2018
Rogue Farm Corps’ series of farm succession and access workshops in April 2018, “Changing Hands A Workshop on Farm Succession Planning and Access to Land” will bring together aspiring and retiring farmers for a full day of training on land access and succession planning. Each event will also have facilitated networking on regional issues with both groups throughout the day to help build a community that will last beyond the workshops.
If you are an aspiring farmer, come learn about creative ways to start your farm business with topics on finding, leasing, financing and buying agricultural land.
If you are a retiring farmer, come learn from experts about what it takes to pass on your business to the next generation – keeping it in the family or finding others to carry it on.

Registration is just $20, including meals. Note: get your tickets early, late registration begins 10 days before the event, and tickets will be $30.
