The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Center for Agricultural Profitability will present a workshop in Lincoln for those planning and involved in farmland succession who want to learn more about the best strategies for managing and owning this asset and how it may impact the transition plan.

“So You’ve Inherited a Farm … Now What?” will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., on Feb. 6, at the office of Nebraska Extension in Lancaster County, 444 Cherrycreek Road.

The workshop will cover Nebraska land industry topics for farms and ranches. Those include evaluating current trends in land values and cash rents, strategies for successful land transitions, lease provisions, legal considerations and managing communication and expectations among family members. Creating and adjusting estate plans will also be covered.

“We hear all the time from people who engaged in various stages of transitioning land involved in a farm or ranch,” said Jim Jansen, an agricultural economist with Nebraska Extension. “The dynamics surrounding succession differ for each operation, and this workshop provides the best management concepts and strategies for an effective transition.”

The program is free to attend, and lunch will be provided by Zag Land Company. Pre-registration is requested by Feb. 5, by calling Nebraska Extension in Lancaster County at 402-441-7180.
