 From the Ag Information Network, I'm Bob Larson with today's Fruit Grower Report. None of us will live forever, so it's time to quit putting it off and time to decide exactly what you want to do with the family farm when you're gone. Managing member of Agribusiness Succession Advisors, Jeff DeWald, says there are four steps to consider, and the first is succession planning, the actual written plan. The second quadrant is financial independence planning for the senior generation, for them to be able to step away from the farm.
