More Than a Transaction: Reimagining Farm Transitions

Farm transitions aren’t simply business deals — they’re deeply human and often emotionally complex. In this episode, we speak with two innovators reimagining how farms change hands and how new farmers find their place. Heather Watson, Executive Director of Farm Management Canada, brings a national view on business planning, succession, and the changing realities of farm ownership. Sara Dent, co-founder of Young Agrarians, is creating new pathways into farming — helping aspiring producers find land, mentors, and community. Learn more about the toolkits from Farm Management Canada , Young Agrarians , and Farm Credit Canada.
