USU Extension Holds Estate and Farm Transition Planning Workshop in SLC
Utah State University Extension co-sponsors a four-day workshop titled “Estate and Farm Transition Planning” Feb. 17, 18 and March 14 and 15 at the Hampton Inn and Suites, Salt Lake City Airport, 307 N. Admiral Byrd Road.
Workshops are intended for owners, operators and successors of farming and ranching operations who plan to transition their operation to successors. Attendees will develop a business succession plan over the four-day workshop. Instructors are faculty of USU Extension, University of Nevada Extension, the Beginning Farmer Center at Iowa State University, as well as local attorneys and mediators.
Workshop topics include retirement planning, communication building, exploring motivations, resolving family conflicts, identifying priorities, goal setting, estate planning and multiple generation strategic business planning.
According to Kynda Curtis, USU Extension agricultural marketing specialist and workshop organizer, the workshop will provide farming families the opportunity to explore options and processes for transitioning their farm or ranch to the next generation or other successor.
“This workshop provides the setting, instructors and resources to stimulate conversations farm families should have when considering a multiple-generation farm business,” she said.
Registration is $290 per farm or ranch operation for up to four people and $50 for each additional person. Breakfast, lunch, breaks and all materials are included for the four-day workshop.
Funding for the workshop is provided by the USDA-Risk Management Agency, USU Extension and the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension.
