The workshop will address:

• Is your farm or business transferable?
• Who will be the next generation of owners?
• What is the valuation of your farm or business?
• What resources are available for family businesses?
• What are the legal and tax consequences you should be aware of?
• What timetable makes sense for succession planning?

This workshop will also be of interest to nonfarm family-owned businesses, business and financial consultants,
as well as bankers and economic development professionals.

We will begin at 9am and end by noon. There is no cost for this workshop. Refreshments will be provided.

But we do need to know ahead of time that you will be there.
