your input please: Succession Planning survey & resources list -- Skagit County --
Sarah Stoner
Happy end of May -- I know it’s a busy time for you.
I wanted to share a few succession related items, especially to get your input.
- Survey for your input (open through May 31), How can we support you & our ag community in farmland succession work?
With last winter’s succession workshop series behind us, we ask: How can we further support our ag community -- with future workshop topics, events, materials, ___?
Take the 3-minute survey.
The results will help us prioritize topics, enhance program structures, and build the strongest possible resource and program support tools on succession planning for our community.
- Succession Resource Guide
We compiled one!
Thanks to feedback that Skagit needed a “one stop shop” place for all things farmland succession
Find the guide here: Succession Planning Resources list.
We are also building a webpage for Farmland Succession support. It will be found at (not yet, but soon): skagitcounty.net/yourfarmsfuture
