Farm Succession: Non-Family Transfer

Tweet
Share

Many farms are not large enough or the next generation may not be interested in the farm business. Some farms may look outside their own family for non-related parties to bring into the farming operation. Purdue ag economists Brady Brewer discusses transferring the farm to a non relative with the Purdue Farm Transition team, Dr. Maria Marshall, Director of the Purdue Institute of Family Business and Renee Wiatt, Farm Business Management Specialist, and Dr. Julia Valliant of Indiana University, Research Scientist with the Ostrom Workshop. Finding a successor, determining a transition plan for the operational business and/or the land, and structuring the transfer process are discussed by the team on this  Purdue Commercial AgCast episode, the eleventh in our Farm Transition Planning series.
