Farm Succession and Estate Planning Workshop
Farm Succession and Estate Planning Workshop in Iowa – June 7th, 2018
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is offering a Farm Succession and Estate Planning Workshop to help farm families begin those conversations and start putting transition plans on paper. Jerry Chizek, ISU Extension and Outreach Regional Director, says offering a farm business succession workshops is a result of needs expressed by area farm families.
“I hear individual family members express concerns about the future of the farm business, but many families have not taken the time to have those discussions between the generations involved. This is an opportunity to begin those discussions. If it is important for the farm to stay in the family, then it is critical to have these discussions to share the goals, dreams, fears, and expectations associated with succession planning,” said Chizek. “That’s why we are bringing Iowa State University transitioning experts to our region.”
The first farm succession and estate planning workshop will be held on June 7, 2018 starting at 5:30pm-9:00pm with David Baker and Zachary Chizek, Beginning Farmer Center Administrator and Attorney at Law, presenting Farm Succession in Fort Dodge.
The second farm succession and estate planning workshop will be held on June 21, 2018 starting at 5:30pm-9:00pm with Kelvin Leibold, ISU Extension and Outreach Farm and Agribusiness Specialist, presenting on Estate Planning.
