Navigating Farm Family Relationships During Business Succession Planning

November 5, 2020


Farming with family members can be one of the most emotionally taxing experiences a person may en-counter, especially when familial relationships get in the way of managing and leading the business. A Northeast farmer once jokingly said, "Working with family should be against the law."
Please join Cornell Cooperative Extension Albany County and the Capital Area Ag & Hort Program's Farm Business Management Educator Dayton Maxwell, Chris Tauzel of the New York State Agricultural Mediation Program and members of NY FarmNet's staff to learn how families can improve relationships to facilitate succession planning and long-term business continuation.
