Family farm transitions is one of the most emotionally complex and stressful topics in agriculture. Host Karen Endres from the Wisconsin Farm Center talks to Jace D. Young about how stress can build when expectations, communication and financial realities aren’t aligned. Jace, founder of Legacy Farmer, has lived this reality firsthand and now helps farm families across the country navigate transition with greater clarity and confidence.
