Returning to the Farm 2023

The Center for Agricultural Profitability at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will present Returning to the Farm, a workshop series for families who are in the transition process of bringing members back to the farm or ranch. It will begin with a two-day workshop in Grand Island for multi-generational families on Dec. 8 and 9 at the Bosselman Convention Center located at Fonner Park, 700 E. Stolley Park Road. 

 The series assists families and agricultural operations with developing financial plans and successful working arrangements to meet their unique needs. It will guide families in developing estate and transition plans, setting personal and professional goals and improving the communication process between family members.

“Returning to the Farm gives families the tools and resources to have a successful transition with more family joining the business,” extension educator Jessica Groskopf said. “We really want to have two or three generations come to this together and take that time, as a family, to sit down, learn together and start these important processes.” Continue reading on the Center for Ag Profitability website.
