Farm succession workshop set

The Nebraska Rural Response Hotline, together with the Nebraska Department of Agriculture Beginning Farm Tax Credit and Negotiations Program, the Farm & Ranch Project of Legal Aid of Nebraska and the Nebraska Farmers Union Foundaiton are sponsoring a free three- to four-hour workshop for farm and ranch families.

The workshop will cover basic estate planning, the use of business entities in farm- and ranch-succession financial and management issues in succession planning and transfer and death taxes, including recent changes for the Nebraska inheritance tax.

Joe Hawbaker, an agriculture law attorney, will discuss succession tools and taxes, while Dave Goeller, a retired extension farm transition specialist will discuss financial and management issues.

The workshop will be held Dec. 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Atkinson Public Library. A lunch will be provided by Tri-County Bank.
