Annie's Project on Farm Transition Planning to be Offered this Fall

Sept. 18, 2015

Nebraska Extension is excited to offer Annie's Project on "Managing for Today and Tomorrow: Farm Transition Planning" in O'Neill this October-November.  Annie's Project is designed to empower farm and ranch women to be better business partners and operators. 

Creating a transition plan to make sure a farm continues as a productive business can be challenging. This five-week course is designed especially for farm and ranch women who want to learn how to plan a successful farm transition.  During the course they will learn about business, estate, retirement and succession planning from Nebraska Extension educators and area professionals. In addition to brief presentations, there will be discussions based on participant questions and follow-up activities for family members to complete at home.

Annie's Project will meet every Monday night from Oct. 19 to Nov. 16 from 6:30-9:30 p.m.  The cost is $75 per person.  Participants will receive handouts, an Annie's Project portfolio, and supper at each meeting.  Course size is limited.  Preregistration is due by Oct. 12. 

Annie's Project is being funded by a grant from the USDA Risk Management Agency and by support from Farm Credit Services of America
