from 4-H Fields of Knowledge Podcast · host University of Missouri - Extension

In this episode of Fields of Knowledge, we dive into one of the most important — and often overlooked — topics in agriculture: farm succession planning. Did you know that only 40% of small businesses make it to the second generation, 13% to the third, and just 1% to the fourth? We sit down to talk about how families can prepare for the next generation, from setting goals and communicating openly to navigating legal and financial challenges. Whether your farm is large or small, starting early and planning intentionally can help preserve your legacy for years to come.
