Nebraska farm and ranch families are invited to attend a free educational workshop focused on succession and estate planning. Hosted by the Nebraska Rural Response Hotline in collaboration with the Nebraska Department of Agriculture’s Beginning Farmer Tax Credit and Negotiations Programs, Nebraska Extension, and the Nebraska Farmers Union Foundation, these workshops are designed to help producers prepare for the future of their operations.

The Farm & Ranch Succession Workshops will take place:

• Mullen: Jan. 5th from 11 am to 3 pm MT at the Methodist Church (304 N Veteran Ave)

Speakers include Weston Svoboda, and Jessica Groskopf. These workshops will cover:

• Estate and succession planning: key considerations, decisions, and available tools

• Transfer, death, and tax implications including portability

• The use of LLCs in succession planning: buy-sell agreements and asset protection

• Options, lease rights, and preemptive rights

• Finance and management issues in succession strategies

“These workshops are intended to help farm and ranch families start, continue, or refine their succession and estate plans,” said Jessica Groskopf. “Planning for the future ensures a smooth transition to the next generation and protects the legacy of Nebraska’s agricultural producers.”
