At the end of your time on earth, you cannot take your tractor with you! How about the richness of relationships, and the legacy of love you create now while you also manage a \u201crock \u2018n roll\u201d great farm business?<\/p>\n<h3>8 Succession Seeds to Sow:<\/h3>\n<h4>1.\u00a0Housing<\/h4>\n<p>Talk about where you want to live and why. Our plan has now changed, we bought a lake home to use as a family retreat. We are staying in our farm home for likely the next 20 years. Our successors are likely building a home close by in 3 years. Yes, this breaks my \u201c1\/2 mile rule\u201d to live farther away, but like you, my plans can change. Be flexible.<\/p>\n<p>[Tweet &#8220;Stop #procrastinating! 8 &#8220;seeds&#8221; #farmers need to be planting to start planning your #succession.&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>2. Viability<\/h4>\n<p>How many families can your farm support at a decent level of income (not slave wages)? As you sit around the fire, start being transparent with the farm financial information with the next generation.<\/p>\n<h4>3.\u00a0Vision<\/h4>\n<p>Dreams become reality when they are goals with a timeline. Share your dreams and vision with your loved ones. I had always dreamed of having a waterfront property that we could share with family and friends, and a place to encourage women. When the dream became a reality I could hardly sleep because I was so excited to see all the possibility in the new space. Your vision should be workable as a couple. Don\u2019t reject thinking about the future for fear of getting older, we are all aging!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2835\" src=\"https:\/\/elainefroese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Depositphotos_31757685_original-710x737.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"415\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>4.\u00a0Share Your \u201cWhy\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>What is your intent for your life, your farm, your family? It is my intent to keep working as a farm family coach for the next ten years and speak to groups in my 70\u2019s. We\u2019ll see how that all unfolds now that I am a grandma! When you say \u201cIt is my intent to explore new ways for us to farm,\u201d then people can grasp where you are going. Recently the light bulb of insight lit up for a farming dad who realized that he was thinking of ways to protect his family in his head, but he forgot to use words to explain his intent. The family read his behavior as \u201ccontrolling\u201d when in reality the dad was just trying to be helpful. Sharing intent is a huge part of being constructive in conflict resolution. Stop trying to read minds, share your intent instead!<\/p>\n<h4>5.\u00a0Share Stories<\/h4>\n<p>As a coach, it helps my families to understand that they are not the only ones going through angst and tension about transitions on the farm. It helps us all to know that others have gone through tough decisions and come out stronger on the other side. Tell stories on the fishing boat. Let your family know what life was like for you at their age. Honor the legacy passed down to you by your ancestors. Story-telling is a powerful way to get to know the emotional factors affecting your planning. Make sure you tell \u201chealing stories\u201d not only sad ones.<\/p>\n<h4>6.\u00a0Reach Out as a Good Listener<\/h4>\n<p>Reaching out to another is a good way to constructively resolve problems. Listen actively and respond carefully to concerns. You want to move the conversations forward, so be curious. Say \u201cI am just curious\u2026&#8221; and then ask for what you really want to find out. You can also start it up softly with \u201cI have been thinking\u2026\u201d statements.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2836\" src=\"https:\/\/elainefroese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Depositphotos_65920215_original-710x761.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"429\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>7.\u00a0Ask More Powerful Questions<\/h4>\n<p>Author Marilee Adams who wrote, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Change-Your-Questions-Life-Institute\/dp\/1576756009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Change Your Questions, Change Your Life<\/a>, says we should question everything. This might get annoying, so ask\u00a0 \u201cWhat do you want..?&#8221; or \u201cWhat if?\u201d types of questions. I like to track my ideas in a notebook. On nights when sleep eludes you, do a brain dump on paper and see if the questions have answers in the morning.<\/p>\n<h4>8. Explore Your Money Scripts<\/h4>\n<p>It has been a delight to have folks say \u201cI am so happy for you,\u201d when I share news of the lake house. Some folks, of course, will be jealous, silently wishing they could have the same resources to buy a cabin, boat, etc. What does money mean to you? I have been to 4 funerals in the last 6 weeks, which is a great reminder that wealth is not in \u201cstuff\u201d but in your health and your relationships.<\/p>\n<p>I suspect some farm families with older \u201ctraditionalists\u201d folks born before 1945 are suffering from money scripts that don\u2019t work well together. The 70-year-old dad who refuses to sell outdated equipment is frustrating the 45-year-old successor and 20-year-old grandchild who have new plans for assets to shift. Are you able to \u201clet go\u201d?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We won\u2019t have carrots on our farm this summer because I procrastinated in weeding out the red root pigweed and a \u201chelpful\u201d friend hoed the row before I knew it. \u201cWeeds are any plant that are not in the right place,\u201d according to the certified seed grower that I live with.
