Dustin Watson promised his grandparents that he’d keep the family farm going, but complex family dynamics, a lack of planning, and rising land prices in his Virginia community put the farm’s future in jeopardy. Hear the story in our first episode of LANDED. https://t.co/l6HoyYRvKV

Farm transfer is inherently complex. By 2040, an estimated 300 million acres of farmland is set to change hands. Enter Anna Sekine, who with the American Farmland Trust helps farmers pass their land to the next generation. (From July 2025) https://t.co/GmSYVDK4h2

Aging farmer demographics, rising land values and farm stress are creating a challenging environment for the successful transfer of farms and ranches to the next generation. Behind these challenges, lay a wellspring of stories that do not often surface in conventional planning discussions.

In Season Four: Succession Stories, Reframing Rural unearths the stories beneath the logistics. Hear how five Montana farm and ranch families are making tough choices about legacy, livelihood and love of their land.
