Thanks Giving - Guest Editorial - Past Editor John Harrington
We all have so much to be thankful for this Thursday - for starters we are All Americans and have all the blessings of this wonderful land.
As we prepare to launch www.CassPod.com ( Click Here ) We think back to all our friends - some past that allowed us very early low fidelity phone interviews - we discovered several in a recent server upgrade
With great memories - we share our 11 year old memories
( I really recommend the retirement of "Larry the UPS Guy" below - a Louisville Icon)

I regret never getting an Interview w/Lynn Berner Smith - we talked about it 3 or 4 times. I guess the take-away here is don't put off things - because you realize 11 years later that you can not go Back!

Hug the ones you love - and pass the Gravy Please!

Agricultural Estate/Farm Transition Planning Workshop coming to Weeping Water

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 7, 2019 – Nebraska Extension in Cass County will host a three-part Estate and Transition Planning Workshop for agricultural landowners, ranchers and farmers thinking about how they should proceed with plans to retire, exit or transfer the farm or ranch business. 

The series will be held Nov. 20, Dec. 4 and Dec. 10, 9:30-11:30 a.m. each day, at the Extension office near Weeping Water, 8400 144^th St., Suite 100.

“Retiring or passing the farm to the next generation is difficult to think about and is an admission of your own impending demise,” said Allan Vyhnalek, extension educator in farm succession.  “However, it is a necessary step and, with good planning, can be made as painless as possible.”           

The workshop will be free, but registration is requested and can be completed by contacting Nebraska Extension in Cass County at 402-267-2205, or in person at the Extension office, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m.         

At the Nov. 20 workshop, Vyhnalek will cover the importance of having a plan, proper family communications and proper family negotiations. The Dec. 4 session will be led by Nick Montague, an attorney with Goosmann Law, and will cover end-of-life documentation, tax considerations at death and tools for estate planning like wills, trusts, LLCs and other business entities. The Dec. 10 workshop will be led by Randy Nesbit, a consultant with Protective Distributors, and Brent Connelly, a financial advisor with Edward Jones. They will cover the use of insurance products, investment strategies, buy/sell agreements and other transition strategies. 

“Reactions from past participants can be summarized into one comment: most wished that they had attended this workshop years earlier,” said Vyhnalek. “This program gives a good outline of the process farm and ranch businesses need to take to start or restart that process.” 

For program information or assistance, please contact Allan Vyhnalek, extension educator, at 402-472-1771 or avyhnalek2@unl.edu. For registration questions, please contact Nebraska Extension in Cass County at 402-267-2205.  For more information on Extension resources for transition in Nebraska, visit https://agecon.unl.edu/succession.
