Shoebox to Strategy – Organizing Your Farm’s Legacy

Every farm knows it should organize essential documents and financial information – but the task is easy to delay. This online workshop series from UW-Madison Extension helps you finally get it done.

By gathering and organizing your farm’s vital records, you’ll be better prepared for meetings with attorneys, accountants, and transition planning professionals – saving you time, money, and stress.

The series combines guided virtual instruction, open office hours, and one in-person workshop to help you move from “I need to do this someday” to “It’s finally done.”
