The bank of mom and dad

Parents are PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS so their adult children can continue the family farm.

Are parents sacrificing their retirement so the family legacy continues?

What challenges are family farms facing in transition planning?

The answer to these questions will shape and determine how this transition...Canada’s largest ever in history worth BILLIONS…will transform AGRICULTURE. 

Will the family farm survive?

Will Canada continue to be a world producer, leader and exporter of food?

Will Canada set the standards for sustainable and regenerative farming practices?

I say YES! Why do I say YES?

Canadian farmers and ranchers have their heart in the business and the business in their heart.

The opportunities and responsibilities for the next generation are bigger than you can imagine and the parents are playing a pivotal role in making this happen.

I’m both excited and concerned about this transition.

The best way to transition the family farm is to start with a family meeting.

I look forward to next week when I'll be talking about Supply Chain Vs Demand...
