Community Forums for Aging Farmers – Mar 14, 15, and 16

Join us for a discussion to help older farmers plan for the future.

Detail from Community Forums for Aging Farmers flyer showing an older man holding a child in cornfield.Are you considering farming for several more years? Stepping back? Or something in-between? It is estimated more than 70% of the farmland in America will be transferred in the next 15 to 20 years. Planning for that succession is important to you, your family and your farm’s future.

These discussions, presented by the SIU School of Medicine Center for Rural Health and Social Service Development Farm Family Resource Initiative, will be held on three consecutive days in three Illinois communities.

Presenters include representatives from the ag extension representatives. Multiple family members/entities are encouraged to attend.
