Farm Succession: Human Resources for Transition Planning
Adding to our series about Farm Transition Planning, in this fourth Purdue Commercial AgCast episode, we focus on the human resource side of succession planning. Keeping the farm business running between generations and management tiers can be difficult, but job descriptions and keeping open communication is key. Purdue agricultural economists Brady Brewer and members of the Purdue Farm Transition team Jenna Nees, Denise Schroeder, and Kyle Weaver discuss the importance of having a strong HR strategy and some common issues that many farms face as they transition management roles.
