When siblings build a farm together, the hardest decisions often come years later when children, spouses, and differing visions for the future enter the picture.

Waiting until crisis or retirement forces the issue often leaves families with limited choices, sometimes leading to split operations or fractured relationships.

This insight from Drovers explores practical ways to navigate generational transitions:
👉 Why "fair" doesn't always mean "equal" when balancing farming and non-farming heirs.
👉 How to structure annual family meetings (like right after harvest) to align on expectations.
👉 How older generations can transition their roles without losing their identity.

Read the full breakdown to learn how to start these conversations early:

🎉Congratulations to Wellington County for winning the International Award of Excellence for their Farm Succession Guide! To have worked alongside so many other talented succession advisors in its creation has been an honour. 🙏

"Over the coming decade, an estimated 1,000 Wellington County farms are predicted to change ownership or management; the 2021 Census of Agriculture indicated that only 276 of them had written transition plans. Wellington County is helping bridge that gap through resources like ‘Your Farm, Your Future; A practical guide for succession’, which provides structured questions, real-life scenarios, and specific advice for families with and without identified successors.
