Farming with Your Stubborn Family

Every farm family dreams of their son/daughter coming home to join the family farm.

Everyone expects the integration of the son/daughter into the family business to go smoothly, but the sad fact is it rarely does. Only 15% of third generation farms transition successfully for a reason.

In most Christian denominations, it is mandatory that you take a premarital course in order for the couple to become aware of possible problems to avoid while married. Committing to taking over the family farm has a lot of similarities to marriage and the first five years isn't the honeymoon everyone expects. This course acts as a "Pre-marriage Course" to make everyone PROACTIVELY AWARE of common problems most farm families encounter. It was designed both for young farmers and their multi-generational families to take independently or (better yet) together as a team.

You will not hear any of the ideas mentioned in this course anywhere else and it will provide you preventive measures and an action plan that will make integration into the business a true success.

Although written for family farms, all concepts mentioned in this course are applicable to most family business scenarios. If you prefer drinking beer over wine, you will probably find the instructor relatable and scenarios more applicable to your family's business culture. :)

This course was designed to be passively listened to for one hour per day over the course of five days while doing farm work or other tasks. You can compare it to a podcast. (Of course, as all Udemy courses, you can complete this course at your own pace.)

No certifications are given as a result of this course; however, taking this course will dramatically improve the odds of your family still farming in 2050!
