Farmers and farm families across North Carolina are invited to take part in the NC Farm Succession School, a full-day workshop focused on helping farm families plan for the future. With over half of North Carolina’s farmers over the age of 65 and the USDA estimating that nearly 70% of farmland will change ownership over the next two decades, many farm families will be facing transition issues in the upcoming years.
The NC Farm Succession School is designed to address key issues in farm transitions, including family communication, retirement planning, long-term care, and estate planning. Offered by NC State Extension, the workshop provides participants with practical tools and guidance to ensure their farm’s legacy is preserved and successfully passed on to the next generation.
