SUMMARY:Passing the Reins: A Succession Planning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:With more ranchers reaching retirement age\, the need for thoughtful succession planning is becoming increasingly important. Simultaneously\, the next generation of agrarians is seeking opportunities to become future land stewards. Passing the Reins: A Succession Planning Workshop is designed to spark meaningful conversations\, share examples of successful transitions\, and build a supportive community for both new agrarians and seasoned farmers and ranchers. \nThe workshop will dive into the legal side of succession as well as the lesser-discussed interpersonal dynamics that can make the process so challenging. \n• A panel discussion of farmers and ranchers who have creatively and successfully navigated succession will offer their perspectives\n• Break-out sessions for both experienced and beginning agrarians will give participants an opportunity to learn from their peers.\n• Those who attend the workshop will leave with a toolkit for knowing what questions to ask as they start their succession planning journey. \nCoffee\, light snacks\, and lunch will be provided. Fee for the workshop is on a sliding scale\, $0-100. Additional donations are also appreciated. \nLodging: Attendees can reserve hotel rooms for March 15-16 at the Sleep Inn & Suites Miles City until February 16\, 2026. Call (406) 232-3000 to reserve a room in the “Succession Planning Group” block at a discounted rate of $139/night. Limited rooms are available.

SUMMARY:EQIP Bridge Loan Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Farmers\, ranchers\, and conservation partners: join Food System 6 on March 17 for a webinar on the 0% EQIP Bridge Loan Program. \nMany farmers want to implement conservation practices through USDA’s EQIP (Environmental Quality Incentives Program)\, but there’s a major barrier: producers typically have to pay upfront for the work and wait months for reimbursement. \nThe EQIP Bridge Loan Program helps solve that problem. \nFood System 6 provides 0% bridge loans so producers can cover upfront project costs and then repay the loan once their EQIP reimbursement arrives. \nIn this webinar we’ll cover: \n• How the program works• Who is eligible• How applications are evaluated• What documents you’ll need• Live Q&A \nWho should attend: Farmers\, ranchers\, landowners\, and organizations supporting producers in eligible states who are implementing EQIP-funded conservation projects. \n Tuesday\, March 17Morning session: 7:30 AM MTEvening session: 6:30 PM MT \n Register here:https://lnkd.in/g5RAU7-3 \nThe program is run by Food System 6 and sponsored by the SHOT Fund.
