明星黑料 Farmland Trust released a new resource that鈥檚 available in English and Spanish to build the skills and knowledge of beginning farmers and ranchers participating in a transfer. The 鈥淭ransitioning Land to a New Generation: Land Transfer Training鈥 curriculum helps to face a pressing need as almost 300 million acres of 明星黑料 agricultural lands are expected to change hands in the coming decades.
As aging farmers and ranchers retire, the incoming generation is struggling to afford to enter it, putting land at risk of changing to non-farm uses. Few tools exist to help cultivate relationships and plan for conversations involved in a farm or ranch transfer. 鈥淭he Land Transfer Training is designed to meet people where they are and to be adaptable while still building off of steps that are universal,鈥 says Erica Goodman, AFT Farms for a New Generation Director. Both the Spanish and English versions are at farmland.org.
