Family farmers can learn more about how to make plans to pass their farms down to the next generation at an educational session being organized by the Purdue Extension office in Bartholomew County later this month.

Bartholomew County’s Purdue Extension will host a talk on farm succession by agricultural economist Dr. Maria Marshall on Tuesday, Nov. 28th from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the evening at Hauser High School.

According to the USDA, more than 70 percent of U.S. farmland will change hands in the next 20 years.

The event is free, but registration is necessary. To register, contact the Purdue Extension Bartholomew County office by Nov. 20th at 812-379-1665.
