In Fall of 2009, NCFTN published Planning the Future of Your Farm:  A Workbook Supporting Farm Transfer Decisions (2d edition).  This 98 page workbook, the second edition of an earlier 48 page edition, is a collection of narrative materials and worksheets designed to help families with the difficult decisions about beginning a process for farm transfer planning.  The workbook can also be used to support education workshops and presentations to farmers, landowners and their families across North Carolina.  It is designed as a "decision-support" tool whereby users can gather assess their values and goals, their farm resources, and estate information for working with professional advisors.  While a second edition is in development, the 2006 version (currently out of print) can be downloaded here.  The workbook can be accompanied by an introductory presentation.
