Farm Succession and State Laws: Ensuring Continuity in Agriculture (Webinar)

This webinar gave state leaders a clear understanding of the fundamentals of farm succession planning and practical ways to reduce barriers that hinder generational transfers—helping ensure long-term stability in local agricultural economies.

Featuring expert insights from Robert Moore, attorney and research specialist at The Ohio State University Agriculture and Resource Law Program, and Jim Molenaar, farmland access and succession coordinator for the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, the session delivers actionable strategies and in-depth analysis.

Presented by The Council of State Governments’ Midwestern Legislative Conference Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, this recording is an excellent opportunity to gain knowledge that can inform policy decisions and support thriving rural communities.

To further explore the topic, CSG Midwest’s latest Issue Brief: Farmland at a Crossroads: Ownership, Investment and Use, explores trends in ownership, the increased “financialization” of farmland, the causes of rising land values, and the impacts on beginning farmers.
