The first workshop will be held on Thursday, August 12, 2026 starting at 5:30 pm-9:00 pm with Eric Weuve, ISU Extension and Outreach Farm Management Specialist, presenting on Farm Succession.
The second workshop will be held on Thursday, August 19 starting at 5:30 pm-9:00 pm with a staff attorney for Center for Agricultural Law and Taxation and Eric Weuve, ISU Extension and Outreach Farm Management Specialist to speak about Farm Estate Planning.
During the first workshop, participants will learn the importance of farm business succession planning, farm succession structures, beginning farmer tax credits, and working with an attorney. During the second workshop, participants will learn the language of estate planning, setting goals, gift, estate, and inheritance taxes, and implementing your estate plan.
At the end of both sessions, participants will be equipped with options of legal steps and succession structures to begin conversations and make tough decisions. Having options to make choices that work best for their family and farm business can help ensure that future generations continue the tradition. Creating the carefully considered and thought-out succession plan can be helpful in providing a framework for implementing steps needed for an effective transition.
The workshops will be held at the Webster County Extension and Outreach office located at 822 Central Ave., Suite 102, in Fort Dodge.
Registration fee for both workshops is $150 per family of four or $50 per person. Pre-registration is required by Monday, August 10 and can be made by registering online at: https://go.iastate.edu/SW26UW .
