Anything we can do to cover as many of these bases as possible will make getting through them much easier. Taxes: Taxes are a big concern for most farm families. The current capital gains exemption has reduced some of the impact of taxes on farm transfers. However, sale of inventory, recaptured depreciation, some tax on capital gains, land transfer tax, probate fees and implications for social benefits can make cash demands on a business and the family. Planning early and developing a continuous business relationship with a good accountant can help reduce any tax to be paid. Planning: Starting early and getting sound advice are the key ingredients to any successful farm transfer. Estate planning is really a life-long process that involves building wealth and transferring it in a way that preserves that wealth.0 Dorothy Miller OMAF Stratford Verticillium Wilt lowers alfalfa yields Verticillium Wilt is a serious disease of alfalfa that causes death of alfalfa plants, reducing stands and yields. The disease begins to appear in second -year stands but is much more severe in third- and fourth-year stands. Verticillium Wilt plugs the "plumbing" of the alfalfa plant, limiting movement of nutrients and water from the root to the top of the plant. Often the first sign of the disease is a wilting of the plant, with a dropping of tips during the heat of the day. The disease is spread from older infected fields to younger fields by harvesting equipment. In fields where the disease is known to occur, growers plant varieties resistant to the disease. Alfalfa varieties are rated as being resistant (R), moderately resistant (MR) and susceptible (S) to the disease.0 Brian Hall
