In partnership with UofA Cooperative Extension and the AZ Farm Bureau, Arizona Land and Water Trust is putting on a workshop geared towards aiding farmers/ranchers to transition their farm/ranch to the next generation.

There will be an Estate Planning attorney to talk about how to legally protect the farm/ranch (and family) as well as a panel of farmers/ranchers to talk about how they are dealing with the transition.

I hope to see some of you there! I plan on attending.

Best,
