#farmsuccession #familyfarming #successionplanning 

In Part 2 of this special two-part conversation, Tracy continues her interview with Nick Shady, co-author of Who Will Get the Farm? —a practical guide to farm succession planning.

While Part 1 focused on the book and Nick’s personal story, this episode dives deeper into the big challenges facing agriculture and family farms when it comes to transition planning.

Nick and Tracy explore:

- Why farm succession is often one of the hardest—and most emotional—decisions farm families will ever face.
- The biggest obstacles that prevent smooth transitions, from unspoken expectations to communication breakdowns.
- How generational dynamics and lack of clarity can affect not only finances but also relationships and long-term legacies.
- Why starting the conversation early is the single most important step to protecting both the family and the farm.

Packed with real-world lessons and insights, this episode highlights the practical steps and honest conversations that can help families avoid conflict and secure their farming legacy for future generations.

👉 Whether you’re actively planning or just beginning to think about the future, this is a must-listen for every farm family navigating succession.
