from The Bloomberg Australia Podcast · host Bloomberg

We’re tackling one of the most fraught (and often avoided) conversations in Australian agriculture: farm succession. As families return from summer break and set their goals for the year ahead, reporter Ben Westcott joins host Rebecca Jones to unpack why passing on the family farm has become so complex, emotionally charged and financially risky. With soaring land values, ageing farmers and siblings pulling in different directions, succession planning is no longer something that can wait.
