A workshop series for women in agriculture will offer strategies to evaluate and improve farm estate and transition plans.
“Leaving a Lasting Legacy for Midwestern Farm Women: A Succession Planning Series,” will be held from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. each Tuesday on Jan. 21, Jan. 28, Feb. 4 and Feb. 11, by Cottonwood Extension District in both the Great Bend and Hays Extension Office meeting rooms.
Topics covered will include motivation for succession planning, communicating with family, the financial aspects of estate and transition plans, and the legal aspects of putting a plan in place. A keynote speaker will be simulcast to every workshop location during each meeting, with time for questions and a hands-on activity for participants. A meal will be provided on each date.
The workshops will also be hosted at 62 other sites through a collaborative effort by extension programs in Kansas, Nebraska and Indiana.
