Building For the Successful Transition of Your Agricultural Business

The Ohio Ag Manager Team is pleased to be offering four two-day workshops across Ohio during the winter of 2007.  Each of these two-day workshops is designed to help family businesses develop a transition plan for their family business. The sessions will challenge you to examine your business to the core and to actively plan for the future. These sessions will help farm families come together to develop a plan for the farm's future, discover ways to increase family communication, plan for retirement, and learn strategies for transferring management skills and the farm's assets from one generation to the next. These workshops are made possible by a grant received from the North Central Risk Management Education Center.
