As Benjamin Franklin famously said, “Nothing is certain except death and taxes.” While we may not like to talk about either, planning for the future of your ranch is one conversation you can’t afford to put off.
According to the 2017 Census of Agriculture, the average age of a U.S. rancher was 57.5 years old. Fast forward to today, and that number is likely closer to 65. The question is no longer if change is coming but how prepared are you when it does?
What happens to your place if something happens to you?
Who will carry on the work you’ve built?
How can you keep your land productive and your legacy intact?
This session is your opportunity to get clear answers and true peace of mind. We’ll explore real-world options for succession planning, strategies to keep your name on the mailbox, and pathways to ensure working lands remain in production for generations to come.
We’re bringing together three trusted experts to guide the conversation:

- Ariel Overstreet-Atkins, owner of Bluebird Law, Billings, MT
- Curt Barnekoff, retired CPA of 40 years
