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 Workshop will take place March 11 in Curtis, NE, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. CST at Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture Welcome Center.
Speakers include Weston Svoboda, and Jessica Groskopf. This workshop 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.
Refreshments for this event will be provided by the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture.
“This workshop is 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.”
While the workshop is free, it is asked that you register ahead of time to help with preparations for refreshments and materials. To register or for more information, please contact the Nebraska Rural Response Hotline at 1-800-464-0258.
