When people think about succession, they often think about tax structures, legal documents and wills.
But in my experience, that’s not where succession plans fall apart.
They fall apart because of the conversations that never happened.
Over the years, I’ve had some incredibly difficult phone calls from young farmers who have just found out the farm is being sold, or who’ve realised there was never actually a plan for them.
Not because anyone intended for it to end that way...
But because everyone assumed someone else would start the conversation.
The strongest farming businesses I’ve worked with don’t avoid difficult discussions.
They have them early.
They have them often.
And everyone understands where the business is heading, what success looks like, and whether there’s a genuine opportunity for the next generation.
If your family has been putting these conversations off, now is the time to start.
Don’t wait until a crisis forces the decision.
