Beginning and aspiring farmers pose for a photo during a bus tour on July 2. The group visited the farms of three different beginning horticulture farmers in the greater Iowa City area. This stop on the tour was at Donna Warhover’s Morning Glory Farm near Mt. Vernon.
Join us for a farm transfer and succession workshop with Mike Downey of Next Gen Ag Advocates and Farm Financial Strategies, Inc. Mike will discuss the why and how of farmland transition, including farm leasing trends and how to communicate with family about your farmland transition. All workshops will include a meal and networking time and will conclude with some possible strategies and next step for farm transfer.
