   When we start talking money and banking---we know in listening to our listeners—they know that the team at Plains Commerce Bank---know how to bring it---and help so many people doing so many things that it’s easy to work with Nolan Clark in our Ag Show at 10:00—and frequently bring in Gary Poppke in the 9:00

Let’s talk about farm succession planning!

• Do you have family members who are willing and able to take over the farm?
• What does this look like?
• Are they capable of continuing the farm successfully?
• Are there any financial issues/obstacles to overcome?
• Are these already in place?
• Do they need assistance in structuring the finances?
• Do you want to keep the farmland in the family, but no descendants are able/willing to farm.
• What are the options for this arrangement?
• Are you concerned with keeping the land “in the family”?
• Due to possible divorce or “crazy” children/beneficiaries?
• Do need an outside professional to assist with the process?
• How complex is your situation?
• This will determine the level of outside expertise required to help you structure a successful transition.
• How good is your family at communicating with each other?

------------Gary Poppke---thanks for the insight---and we know with Plains Commerce---if you need help---ASK---they are one of the best at ANSWERING!!!!  And sometimes the ONLY ONE THAT CAN ANSWER___
