Thinking About Farm Succession?

The Richland County Extension Office will be holding a free workshop titled, “Thinking About Farm Succession?” Thursday evening (March 6) from 6:00 to 9:00 at Melvill Hall in Pippin Hall on the Richland Campus. The workshop is sponsored by USDA/NIFA and Ranch Stress. One topic of discussion at the workshop will be how farm owners can be protected if they are put into a long term facility. Joy Kirkpatrick is an Outreach Specialist for UW Madison Division of Extension.

Kirkpatrick and Kelly Wilfert, also an Outreach Specialist, will provide a framework to help farms to identify legal risks in farm succession and estate planning. Those who attend do not have to be farmers. The information provided will be beneficial to anyone who attends. Space is limited, so registrations are appreciated.
