*This is the second webinar in a series designed to explore farm succession planning with a special emphasis on the needs of socially disadvantaged farm families. Future programs will explore other resources that farm families can use to help develop a plan for successfully passing their farm business to future generations. These succession webinars, though geared toward help for and understanding of the particular problems faced by black farmers, are for everyone interested in knowing more about succession planning.
