This week “In the Field” offers local Ag related info and input sessions
LETHBRIDGE – This week’s (Jan 16 to20) “In the Field” vignette farm features on County 95 covered several stories about local groups and the government seeking input from agriculture industry parnters on a variety of topics. The issues cover everything from farm succession planning, to safe food handling and water management.
Farm Succession Planning:
It isn’t an easy discussion for many families to have but, if you own a farm and re nearing retirement, succession planning is critical.
In an effort to reduce conflict, costs and misunderstandings, having a plan will enable a smoother transition from one generation to the next.
To help with that process, a group of experts in law, tax and financial planning will hold seminars in Taber, Pincher Creek, Nanton and Lethbridge, between February first and the eighth.
