They texted me their biggest issues regarding fairness in transition planning.<\/p>\n<h3>The Biggest Issues Regarding Fairness in Transition Planning<\/h3>\n<p>I thought you might like to see what resonates with you in this list of texts (no particular order).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What I have had to come to grips with in our farm situation is that we have no next generation farmers in a succession plan, while I have an emotional attachment to my land, my children and my brother\u2019s children do not.<\/li>\n<li>Listening to each other fairly is an issue. How do we deal with non-farming family members?<\/li>\n<li>Narcissists &#8211; There is too much negativity.<\/li>\n<li>We have big talkers&#8230;people who over promise and under deliver. They are not being forthright.<\/li>\n<li>Over taxation. Government policies. King Justin\u2019s cut. Tax.<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAll are created equal. Just some are a little more equal than others. \u201c -Orwell.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li>My fairness issue is a small family farm with 4 daughters of whom only 1 wants to come back but I fear there might be a split up in that daughter\u2019s family. (divorce threat)<\/li>\n<li>The older generation will not let go. They are having control issues and they expect me to farm the same way they did.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elainefroese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_162345980_m-2015.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3326\" src=\"https:\/\/elainefroese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_162345980_m-2015-710x474.jpg\" alt=\"Farm transition with siblings\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Who gets the homestead?<\/li>\n<li>How to be fair with 3 boys. Also, bringing kids into the farm.<\/li>\n<li>Siblings &#8211; Having greedy siblings when fairness should prevail, especially a greedy sister-in-law. \u00a0There is always someone who feels they have been done out of something. Almost everything is going to one sibling, which is making it hard to deal with siblings that have never been on the farm.<\/li>\n<li>Splitting up the farm &#8211; We need to find a balance between siblings. With having 10 brothers and sisters, the sisters are getting half the land and the parents don\u2019t want to talk about the transition. Our parents won\u2019t let me buy out our sisters. I pray my wife will inherit lots of cash so I can buy out sister. When I ask Dad about vision legacy he says \u201cbuild your own.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Money. Money. Money. Should you be gifting the farm or selling it to them?<\/li>\n<li>Second marriage families.<\/li>\n<li>Substantial increases in land values.<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe have heirs to the loan, no heirs to the throne.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li>With only having one of four children on the farm, how soon should we have the succession talk? At what age for the kids and the parents is acceptable? Should you be looking at your farm more as a business and allow the children with the most capable skills run and take over the spread?<\/li>\n<li>Clarity in choice, finding balance, then doing it.<\/li>\n<li>What do you do when it\u2019s dangerous to have all family members sitting in the same room? Our issue is trying to have a conversation without someone getting angry.<\/li>\n<li>Changing the guard &#8211; How do you get the founder to not have the \u201cwork all day\u201d attitude, and how do you actually give the founder a deadline and convince them to step away from the farm activity?<\/li>\n<li>Someone sent a colourful quote:<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI guess it\u2019s not what you take when you leave this world behind, its what you leave behind when you go.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li>We need mechanisms that will allow for a reasonable financial entry point for specifically young\/new farming family members.<\/li>\n<li>Equality doesn\u2019t always appear equal. So, if we step back would step one not be to make sure the initial business plans for those currently owning or purchasing the business be to put our vision statements and goals on paper? Wouldn\u2019t we make the future transition be easier if we started off on the same page with a similar vision? (Get the Farm Family Toolkit, <a href=\"https:\/\/elainefroese.com\/\">here<\/a>, at the bottom of the page!)<\/li>\n<li>Transfer of decision making &#8211; I struggle with taking over the management decisions from my father who wants to work in the business every day but never work ON the business. Working on the business is almost looked down on as avoiding \u201creal work\u201d. I think his generation was built on the basis of the harder and longer you worked the more money you made. Plus he was subsidized by my mother\u2019s nursing wage. It is a struggle to turn the farm into a stand-alone profitable business and support a different generation with increased lifestyle costs.<\/li>\n<li>Fair isn\u2019t always equal and equal isn\u2019t always fair.\u00a0 Our daughter-in-law is a non- farmer. She has no interest in the family farm. (I am seeing this as a trend in agriculture now.)<\/li>\n<li>Why should a son or daughter feel like they\u2019re entitled to anything?<\/li>\n<li>If I push too hard on tough subjects they may push me out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[Tweet &#8220;The key to getting everything you want in your #farm #transition is by being open about #fairness.&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>What Do Farmers Expect From Their Parents or Children?<\/h3>\n<p>Opportunity, love, support?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elainefroese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_50954927_m-2015.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3324\" src=\"https:\/\/elainefroese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_50954927_m-2015-710x482.jpg\" alt=\"Farm transition - communication\" width=\"600\" height=\"407\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The key to a successful farm transition plan is good communication. Parents need to be open to what their children want and expect of the farm and\/or its assets. Children need to be understanding of <a href=\"https:\/\/elainefroese.com\/farm-succession\/founding-farmers-let-go\/\">parents who are afraid to let go of the farm<\/a> or are trying to include everyone in the transition, even non-farming children.<\/p>\n<h3>What is Success to You?<\/h3>\n<p>Success to me is working alongside my hubby, raising our babies on our farm while maintaining a healthy relationship with my parents, who own our farm, and the rest of the family who is on and off the farm.<\/p>\n<p>Success is ensuring everyone in our family has enough work to fill their time and enough time to do their work.<\/p>\n<p>My definition of fairness is helping everyone be successful. If you would like a transcript of my notes,\u00a0text FAIRNESS (use ALL CAPS) in the message line to 1-587-800-4323 and you will get my thoughts on \u201cFAIR&#8221;: Financial transparency, Attitudes towards money, Intent, and Roles.<\/p>\n<p>My farm audiences are rich with ideas that are keeping them stuck, but when they start to drill down on what is the stumbling block to getting transition plans activated, it usually distills down to a fairness issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cElaine, what\u2019s been helpful in this discussion is to see and understand that others (families) are having similar issues as our family. We are not on the journey alone. Each business is as unique as a fingerprint and no two are the same. You can creatively structure yourself for future transitions. Communication is the key to the success of any business model.\u201d says the Ontario farmer in my seminar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elainefroese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_76338035_m-2015.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3325\" src=\"https:\/\/elainefroese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Depositphotos_76338035_m-2015-710x474.jpg\" alt=\"Farm transition planning success\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Take a highlighter to this article and make your own personal list of fairness issues that your farm team needs to talk about. Don\u2019t procrastinate. Don\u2019t let the fear of conflict stop your discussion. You can do this.
