It’s estimated that at least 40 per cent of Canada’s farmers will retire within the next decade, making farm succession planning a hot topic in agriculture. With the average age of farmers on the rise, the need for transition strategies is now more pressing than ever.
Succession looks different for every farm, as the transition path must meet the needs of the farming family and its business.
Join Lamont County and Annessa Good-Hassard of Peak Heritage Consulting Ltd., for an evening workshop on Strategizing Success for your Family Farm’s Succession Planning.
Schedule:
5-6 p.m.: Registration & Supper
6-8 p.m.: Presentation from Annessa Good-Hassard of Peak Heritage Consulting Ltd.
Annessa has been honored to sit at the table with over 500 Canadian farm families assisting them on their transition journey. One of her mottos is that “Succession is the transfer of a business, while Estate Planning is the transfer of assets pre- and post-death. Transition is a combination of both and is proactive rather than reactive.”
Join Annessa as she dives into the heart of family dynamics, financial feasibility and estate planning considerations for your family and operation.
One of Annessa’s quotes is that “unspoken expectations are the silent killers of family farms.”
Recognizing the agriculture industry’s unique opportunities and challenges, in this presentation, Annessa will empower you with practical strategies to assist your family and operation with your transition journey.
Registration closes January 31 at 12:00 p.m.
Please register by emailing Bonnie at bonnie.c@lamontcounty.ca or by calling the Agricultural Services Office at (780) 895-2585. A light supper will be provided.
