Learn to pass down farm. There is a saying that farmers never “retire”; they just “tire.” Many farmers and ranchers work their operations late into their lives, and retiring or handing over the operation that they have built up over the years is the last thing they want to think about.

That is why farm succession planning is critical. Putting off planning allows for uncertainty if something sudden occurs.

“More often than not, planning is deferred until some critical point,” says Allan Vyhnalek, University of Nebraska Extension educator and farm transition specialist.

“If there’s a sudden death, then your back is against the wall, and you could make bad decisions because of stress. It’s important to make sure we think about this while everything is going well — instead of during a crisis.”

Vyhnalek will be offering advice on ranch succession and transition planning during daily sessions at 11 a.m. on the Hospitality Tent stage at Husker Harvest Days.
