What happens to the family farm when the primary owner passes away? How about transitions that happen in other circumstances? According to strategy consultant David Specht, there are many instances for which farm families should prepare long before the circumstance arises. He speaks with AgNet West news director Sabrina Hill about farm planning and his new book to help farm families do just that.
