Transitioning the family farm from one generation to the next

The process of transitioning the farm from one generation to the next is a long and difficult process. What makes it so difficult is each family farm business is unique and no single approach works for everyone. Bob Tosh a farm and family advisor with MNP will discuss the roadblocks, the importance of being heard, the difference between succession planning and estate planning and the first steps in getting the conversation started. Flea beetles, weevils, cutworms, wheat midge, grasshoppers. The list of pests that can impact a crop during the growing season is endless. We have entomologist Meghan Vankosky with us. In addition to her research for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, she is also the co-chair of the Prairie Pest Monitoring Network. She'll talk about how the network is an important tool for producers during the growing season and why there is an increased focus on beneficial insects.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
