MSU Extension will hosting a Succession Planning Workshop for families in January and February 2025. The workshop will begin Wednesday, January 8th and will run every other week on Wednesdays from 2-4 p.m. at Montcalm Community College in Sidney, MI. The cost for this workshop is $250 per family and includes in-depth planning and analysis with families. Agricultural attorneys will lead presentations and be available for questions.

Succession planning is a process of creating a path to transfer ownership of a farm business. MSU Extension assists by holding private educational sessions with farm families and nonfamily successors with six main goals in mind:

Retain financial security for the senior generation
Obtain family harmony among all family members
Provide a reasonable opportunity for financial success for the successive generation
Provide flexibility for changing situations
Develop a plan that is simple and easy to administrate
Minimize income and estate taxes for all family members
