@PioneerSeeds I’m thankful for family that works together to enable successful transition plans to ensure the farm endures for future generations!

@prime_sapiens Well…most of mine died in their late 50’s (men) and 60’s/70’s (women) from heart related issues or cancer. All worked hard physically.

@clintwfischer Nicely written and so many farming families need to have the open discussion about the future.
I believe the irrevocable trust also gives the benefits of a stepped up basis (current value), doesn’t it?

@Storm5farms @grantorino101 Looks like near perfect conditions!

[Alan Hopkins @alanstuff]

@hfmshres Happy Birthday, Howard and Rick!!

[Alan Hopkins @alanstuff]

@1Nicdar Take this example times how many more - thousands or hundreds of thousands? Pitiful.

@hfmshres “Hi Howard!”… just following orders. 🤣. I like Journey too and several 80’s bands. Have you heard “Resurrection Band” play? They’re 100% Journey cover band. They are unbelievable. Hope you’re doing well, my friend!

@Dr_Fleck Maybe the 65 hp if you don’t run it full but a 4020, 4430, etc. would be better if you’re a JD man.

@Storm5farms Ditto - bought a snowblower 3 years ago and haven’t used it yet. Now watch - 12” of snow will fall in late March! 🤣

@apasztor82 Best chicken anywhere- tasting, that is! 🤣
Enjoy!

@clintwfischer Stay with the “current plan” or risk family splits. Depends what mom and dad value - family unity (hopefully) or setting up the family for generations of division. IMO, equal is only fair in this situation.

@Bkitch1Bodie @jev4320 @Storm5farms @grantorino101 $850 - $1500 depending on if they are complete, condition of moldboards, etc. Would be my guess based on recent ads.
