Indiana County Farm Succession Workshop

Professionals in the agricultural industry will be providing valuable information to farm business owners who want to ensure the farm is transitioned to the next generation. This event will be hosted both in-person and online.

The workshop is presented by PA Farm Link. PA Farm Link, a non-profit dedicated to “Linking Farmers to the Future”, will provide information on various aspects of creating a Farm Business Succession/Transition plan.

This workshop will help work through some of the myths and stumbling blocks of moving forward with a farm succession and transition plan.
