What are we looking to get out of Jess?

Do you agree that succession planning, or lack thereof, is one of the most important, if not the most important, things in Ag?

Why do families typically avoid it?

Where does a family start with succession planning? Does it require one person in the family to lead the process?

I know each case would be different, but what sort of things would you go through right at the start of the process?

Is it the sort of thing you want to fast-track, or is this something that takes time?

Have you ever had a situation where an outcome was never going to happen? And if so, why?

What are some of the benefits of a successful succession plan?

What would be considered a good outcome?

How often should we be doing succession plans?
