The emotional and practical challenges of handing a family farm down to the younger generation will be discussed by leading national experts in an online event hosted by the Devon Federation of Young Farmers Clubs (YFC).
The webinar on Monday, January 25, is supported by leading rural insurer NFU Mutual and will focus on the need for effective succession planning within family farming businesses.
Professor of Rural Resource Management, Matt Lobley of the University of Exeter, will be drawing upon his findings of 30 years of research with farming families across the UK. “Retirement and farm succession is often more complex than it sounds and, for most, it’s a very emotional process,” said professor Lobley.
