Specialists from Cornell Cooperative Extension and PRO-DAIRY are organizing this workshop series for farm owners and managers to acquire skills, tools and tactics for success in multi-generational farm businesses. The three sessions will build on each other, starting with skills for effective communication, teamwork and problem-solving.
Additional topics will include assessing business viability, setting individual and team goals, and developing a transfer plan. The interactive small-group format will incorporate presentations, activities, and peer-to-peer discussion. To get the most out of the program, members of each generation involved in the business are encouraged to attend together.
