This three-day winter course is for active, commercial farmers looking to transfer their farm to a related or unrelated successor. It is an opportunity for senior farmers and partners to talk with peers, learn from advisors, and get support on succession planning. Farmers do not need to have an identified successor to participate in this course.

Followup courses will take place on Feb. 28 and March 28. Farmers are required to attend all three courses.

Register to participate by Jan. 31.
