• Planning Today for Tomorrow’s Farms: A Workbook for Tennessee Farm Families

  Published by UT Extension, the objective of this workbook is to provide readers a solid foundation upon which they, and all of the people involved, can understand basic farm and forest succession planning concepts and processes. Of equal importance, this workbook seeks to prepare all of the individuals to effectively search for and use the appropriate professional services required for the development of a high‐quality farm succession plan. Throughout, this workbook assumes that the farm transfer will take place between two families, related or unrelated, and that their business relationship will continue over an extended period. However, the information contained in the manual is certainly applicable to a wide range of situations.
