The 24th Annual FARMING TOGETHER WORKSHOP, Developing the
Next Generation of Management, will be presented January
30-31, 2004.
This workshop provides information and work time to develop
answers for many issues involved with bringing a new manager
into the operation. The workshop provides an opportunity
for you, your son, daughter, or partner to begin making
decisions together about the future of the farming operation.
The conference is also a wonderful opportunity to spend
a weekend with a family member who is attending Purdue.
