DairyCast Update for March 11, 2011, Handing It Over To The Next Generation
Posted: March 10, 2011 by DairyCast Update
An interesting conversation is highlighted from our recent trip to the World Ag Expo. We discuss succession planning with Caroline Berry, Caroline Berry Consulting, who says, "Estate planning and succession planning are not the same. I frequently talk with someone who tells me their accountant has 'all that' under control." You don't discuss succession planning with your accountant. You discuss it with your successors.
Listen to this important conversation about planning for the future of your business with Caroline Berry. The entire World Ag Expo panel video is also available on DairyCast.
And check out some of the other conversations from the Dairy Exhibit barn. We'll continue to bring you conversations from around the dairy industry in coming weeks. Let me know what you think about them with an email to Feedback@DairyCast.com.
