The Nebraska Grazing Lands Coalition (NGLC) will host a Farm & Ranch Legacy Workshop on December 8 at the Platte Valley Bank Conference Room in Chadron. 

The event will begin at 9 a.m. with coffee and a light breakfast. The workshop from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. is open to producers at any stage of the planning process and will provide information on transition tools that can help families protect their operations, preserve relationships, and plan for the future. 

The workshop will include the mechanics of estate and generational transition planning presented by Pamela Epp Olsen, ag attorney. A producer panel will also share firsthand experiences, lessons learned, and approaches that helped or hindered their own transition planning efforts. 

“The future of Nebraska’s grazing lands depends on the families who care for them,” said Angela Redman, Assistant Director of the Nebraska Grazing Lands Coalition. “This workshop provides producers with the knowledge and resources to start important conversations and take meaningful steps toward securing their family’s legacy.” 

Registration is $20 and includes lunch and workshop materials. To register, call the Sheridan County Extension at 308-327-2312 or visit www.nebraskagrazinglands.org.  

To help make this educational opportunity accessible, NGLC offers scholarships for producers to attend the Farm & Ranch Legacy Workshop. Additional scholarships are available to help offset costs associated with legacy planning.
