brave deeds you faced the risk of getting
your face slapped. The funny thing later on
was finding out she was hoping all along that
you would ask.
How many dads are hoping that sons will
ask? Maybe dad says to himself, "I'II wait
until he has the courage to ask about
entering into the farm business." It may be
one way dad has of testing son's maturity.
Today, very few farms are sold outright to
family. The process is more one of evolution
than revolution. Evolution fits into the
scheme of things around a farm. Change is
gradual and growth of plants, animals and
people is a natural thing. However, it is
useful to have some check points in the
system. There needs to be some way of
setting goals and testing progress.
A Farm Business Agreement between two
generations is a useful tool. Each contributes
individually or jointly owned assets, labour
and management to the business. Net
income is split on some agreed percentage.
The agreement is a useful means in the
transfer of farm assets while the junior
member is accumulating assets and working
into the business and the senior member is
phasing out of the business.
