Ohio Launches Statewide Program to Help Farmers Plan for Future Generations

A new statewide program in Ohio is assisting agricultural families with succession planning and transitioning farms to the next generation. The Ohio Farm Transition Network offers educational resources and guidance to help farming families navigate the complex process of passing down their operations.

Agricultural families in Ohio now have access to a comprehensive statewide program designed to assist with generational farm transitions, according to an Ohio State University agricultural attorney.

Robert Moore, who works with the university’s agricultural law program, explains that the Ohio Farm Transition Network offers educational resources and guidance to help farming operations prepare for the future. The program aims to equip agricultural producers with the knowledge needed to make well-informed choices about their farm’s future.

“Farm families often have a difficult time finding resources,” Moore stated. “This program will help them find” the assistance they need for successful transitions.

The network addresses a critical need in Ohio’s agricultural community, where many farming families struggle to locate appropriate guidance for succession planning. The initiative provides structured support to ensure farming operations can continue successfully from one generation to the next.
