Planning for Success in Succession
With many farmers in Australia reaching retirement age, the conversations are starting to lean towards the next steps for the family farms. Katie, Hugh and Lorraine represent this movement and in this webinar they speak openly and frankly about their two very different succession plan approaches. For Katie and Hugh, they didn’t want to leave the farm but their kids didn’t want to take over the farm so they developed leasing arrangements with young local farmers and established an organic producer co-operative. Lorraine has three sons and she wanted top make sure that regardless if one or all wanted to take over the family farm that they would all financially benefit from the farm. All speakers share their very personal and authentic stories.
