Transitioning a farming or ranching operation from one generation to the next, or even from one operator to another can be complicated.  The Nebraska Grazing Lands Coalition recently hosted a workshop, Enhancing the Grasslands of Nebraska Through Generational Transition in Sidney. 

This one-day educational workshop provided participants an opportunity to listen as Pamela Epp Olsen, an estate planning attorney, presented on the mechanics of estate and generational transition planning.  In addition, a panel of producers also shared about their own personal experience with transition planning.

“Succession planning is such an important topic, planning for the next generation increases the likelihood of their success” said Angela Redman, NGLC Assistant Director.  “These workshops allow participants to connect and be inspired to begin their own succession planning.”

This workshop was made possible through a Bass Pro Shops Cabela’s Outdoor Fund grant and in partnership with UNL Extension.  “The Nebraska Grazing Lands Coalition is extremely grateful to have been able to provide this educational opportunity for producers to help enhance the grazing lands of Nebraska,” said Redman.
