If passing down the farm is important to you and if you believe that you are the one who will be held accountable for the results – as defined by the success of your farm’s transition, you’re in the right place.
Farm Succession Planning
How does it work, will it work for me, can I afford it?
Because you are here (on the Internet) you’ve demonstrated that you can access the process easily. Rather that making it a book that is outdated before it is published or an ebook you’d have to download and we’d have to send out updates for – you simply log on here.
The contents of the farm succession tool kit are arranged sequentially, as if you were starting the process from scratch today.
The instant you join us you’ll see the links, putting everything in front of you for your use in whatever order works best for you. Share your membership access code with the rest of your family – to get them on board immediately.
Our objective is to help you enhance your capacity for working things out for yourself, therefore each session is a building block toward self-sufficiency. We are providing a palette of time tested ideas and actionable strategies. It will be your commitment ( along with that of your advisers) to your farm’s future that determines how effectively you apply them.
Here are five ways it will help you help yourself, making it the most cost effective succession planning resource anywhere.
- You’ll be empowered with 100% of the questions you’ll need answers to
- Questions leading to an assurance of the Senior generation’s security
- The creation of fair outcomes for both successors and non-farm heirs
- How shared goals for the farm’s future leads to better results for everyone
- Your advisory team will be onboard and anxious to implement your objectives.
This is a process you can bet the farm on!
Ever heard the expression “Good fences make good neighbors?” When it comes to passing down your farm to the next generation, when you know what questions to ask, you’re bound to get better answers.That applies to the all important discussions with your family as well as with your professional advisors.
With so much at stake, maybe generations of hard work, instinctively understanding that the wrong decisions can destroy the farm, this would be to assume you’re getting the best advice unless you have answers to the important questions.
Nobody can afford the mistakes resulting from not asking the right questions of the right people at the right time.
- Do you want to rely on outsiders for decisions you should be making?
- Do you want to make decisions about your operation’s future alone?
- What about the unintended consequences of your untested assumptions?
When considering what to charge for this farm succession resource!
What motivated us to create this interactive farm succession planning resource in the first place was our desire to provide you with a framework for productive discussions.
Discussion topics, key insights, and well developed questions resulting in the decisions leading to the successful transition of your farm to the next generation.
What made it possible was the ability to automate the process completely using our membership web site.
You receive access to the resources immediately upon payment and your family will simply log in using the access code you’ll forward along to them.
The continually updated resources are there waiting for you, at a price everyone can easily afford – if passing down the farm is important to them at all.
When your advisers fully understand what you want the future of your farm to look like they are able to spend their time (and your money) coming up with strategies that will get you closer to your objectives – rather than relying on “standard” solutions to your unique situation.
You will become a more savvy consumer of professional services as a result. Not only will you get better advice, you’ll save money in the process.
- Our small organization can handle the distribution because the contents are already in place and waiting for you. We can likewise make updates as required and you will instantly have access to them by simply “refreshing” your web browser. And we can contact each of you with a simple email when there is something important to announce.
We settled on a one time fee of $20.00 for lifetime access to the contents of this website which includes the evolving contents of the farm succession toolkit.
If you don’t think the information that has resulted in the successful succession of hundreds of farms over the last quarter of a century is worth twenty bucks today, don’t buy it.
Every one of us is where we are right now, in our business and in our life – as a result of the decisions we’ve made in the past.
Your future will be determined by the choices you are making now. Make the decision that’s right for you today.
