November 12
It’s never too early or too late to start thinking about “passing the torch” and finding someone in line to transition ownership of your dairy business. You and your family are invited to this “Passing the Torch” Next-Level Transition Planning Workshop in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. What does next-level mean? This workshop is designed to go beyond the basics!
-
Hear a more in-depth discussion about business structures and plans, when and how to use them, and more.
- Learn about pre-nuptials, post-nuptials, and how to structure them.
- Get more examples and case studies of different transition plans.
- Reflect on what your plan is if someone passes away unexpectedly.
- Hear success stories.
- Participate in one-on-one, interactive family roundtable discussions that are led by outside advisors to keep the process moving in a productive way.
Hosted by Penn State Extension and the Center for Dairy Excellence, the workshop will be held on November 12, 2026 in Bird in Hand, PA. The workshop includes lunch and one-on-one, interactive family roundtable discussions led by outside advisors.
