‘Managing for Today and Tomorrow’ a course designed for Women, Assists with Farm
Generational Transitions
There is no “one size” fits all solution when it comes to farm transitions. Developing a viable
transition and succession plan is a major undertaking and can be challenging. However, it is
completely necessary to have these plans in place to ensure the future success of the farm and its
productivity. Women play a vital role in helping their families navigate the transition planning
process and making these important decisions. Purdue Extension in cooperation with Annie’s
Project is offering a five-session course where women can learn and be better equipped to plan
and execute a successful farm transition. The “Managing for Today and Tomorrow: Farm
Transition Planning” program, a course designed by Annie’s Project, has been scheduled for this
December virtually via zoom on December 5, 7, 9, 12, and 14 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Women will learn about business, estate, retirement and succession planning from Purdue
Extension specialists and area professionals. In addition to brief presentations, there will be
discussions based on participant questions and follow-up activities for family members to
complete at home.
The cost is $25 per participant, which includes a 300-page workbook with fact sheets, interactive
activities, and presentations. Course size is limited, so please register soon.
“We’re happy to be a partner in bringing this valuable program to Indiana,” said Beth Vansickle,
Purdue Extension Educator and program chair, “This farm transition course is an opportunity for
women to meet with others who share similar issues and concerns. We limit the size of the class
to make it comfortable for everyone to speak up and get questions answered.”
Annie’s Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women in agriculture to be
successful through education, networks and resources. The organization provides agricultural
risk management education programs for women involved in agriculture. Annie’s Project courses

generation to the next,” said Beth Vansickle, Purdue Extension Educator. “Managing for Today
and Tomorrow: Farm Transition Planning will empower women to take ownership of the future
of their farms,” continues Vansickle “Farm Credit Mid-America is a statewide sponsor of this
