When is the right time to bring in a Land Transfer Navigator?
In this video, Michigan Land Transfer Navigators explain the key moments when their support can make the biggest difference for farm families. Whether a farmer is just starting to think about retirement, actively planning a succession, or facing an unexpected transition, Navigators help guide the process with clarity and connection. They assist in identifying resources, building a plan, and linking families with trusted professionals so important decisions don’t have to be made alone. Early involvement often leads to smoother transitions, stronger plans, and better outcomes for both retiring farmers and the next generation.
The Land Transfer Navigator program is led by American Farmland Trust with support from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service: https://mifarmlink.org/resources/land...
