What does the farm transition process actually look like when Land Transfer Navigators are involved?
In this video, Michigan Land Transfer Navigators walk through a typical land transfer journey and how they support farm families at each stage. From early conversations and goal-setting, to connecting with legal and financial professionals, to exploring conservation options and identifying the next generation of farmers, Navigators help bring structure and clarity to what can often feel like a complex and emotional process. Their support helps families move forward with confidence while keeping farmland in agriculture.
The Land Transfer Navigator program is led by American Farmland Trust with support from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service: https://mifarmlink.org/resources/land...
