Farmers, ranchers, and forest owners know that managing risks is important. They plant at the right time, pick crops that resist diseases, and vaccinate their animals. They always look for ways to protect their farms because their future depends on it.
But what about risks you can’t see? What if something you thought would happen years from now happens today? Who will take care of your land when you are no longer able? If you do not plan ahead, it could be much harder for your farm, ranch, or forest to continue in the future.
Planning for the future of a farm, ranch, or forest means making a plan to pass it down to the next generation. This includes setting goals, talking with family, and handling legal and money matters. A good plan makes the transition smoother and helps keep the farm or ranch in the family for years to come. Source of data below: Oregon Agricultural Trust.
