Succession Planner Gives Advice To The Next Generation

A succession planning specialist says, staying curious is a key to success.
 
Founder of Farm Life, Darrell Wade, gave a presentation at the Canadian Beef Industry Conference in London, Ontario last month during the Young Cattlemen's Council's Annual General Meeting.
 
Wade says it's important the younger generation coming into the farm asks lots of questions to open up the conversation.
 
"I think the big part of it is to respect these stories, these traditions, and these values that have brought the family to where it is today, which shows that you're not just there for the business, that you're there for the family and that family farm business."
