Cultivating Connections: A Conference for Farm Transition Planners

Aug 4, 2025 - 8:30 AM
to Aug 5, 2025 - 12:30 PM

The Cultivating Connections Conference is an annual event for farm transition planners - those professionals dedicated to enabling the transition of agricultural operations from one generation to the next. This conference is a forum for learning and discussing the latest laws, strategies, tools, and insights necessary for effective farm transition planning. It brings together a diverse range of professionals -- attorneys, accountants, educators, and financial advisors -- who share a common goal: to preserve the legacy and sustainability of family farms for future generations. 

At the heart of the conference is a focus on building strong, collaborative relationships among farm transition professionals. Conference sessions aim to impart knowledge, foster dialogue, and build a supportive community. Attendees can connect with peers and share issues, insights, and expertise.

We hope you'll join us this year.
