Family farms are at the heart of the Esperance region, so how can you make sure the farm stays in the family, long into the future? 

Farming is a way of life that is passed down from generation to generation. For many farming families across the Esperance region and beyond, the family farm is not just a source of income, but a source of pride, heritage, and family values.

Many farmers have children who, upon reaching adulthood or returning from studies, choose to remain on the farm. As the incoming generation begin to take on tasks requiring greater responsibility, the older generation begin to be faced with a a difficult question - what does the future of the farm look like?

For many farmers, the thought of succession planning can feel like a heavy burden. It requires facing tough decisions, such as transferring the reins of the farm and ensuring financial security in retirement, all while making sure every family member is satisfied. It's understandable that many farmers might hesitate and say, "I'm not ready to face this yet" or "I just want to stick with what I'm doing for now." But with the right guidance and support, creating a farm succession plan can be a fulfilling and empowering experience.
