[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 730095, member: 6198"] Okay, as much as I admire you taking over the family farm, you need to do all the pencil work for yourself. First off, it gives you the understanding of where your money goes, and second, it gives you the ability to figure where your money should and should not go. In everything you do, always use the pencil and paper and figure for yourself. You need to be responsible of the farm financial decisions and the only way to do that is to do it yourself. NO shortcuts in this business. Ok, now that has been said.... Since this is a family farm and you are taking over, do you have this in writing from your parents, are there other sibblings who will want their share of the farm when your parents have passed? Is the succession plan been put into practice so everyone in the family is ok with what is going on? Family farming can be a serious challenge...just ask half the folks on here including me. What about your spouse? How does he/she feel about all this? IF none of this has been thought of, google John Fast, or Elaine Froese. These are people who work with families and the conflicts of the family farm and the lack of succesion planning. Ag canada has webinars where these people and others like them speak, and you can watch them for free on the webinar site. [/QUOTE]
