Collapse ▲PITTSBORO, NC—The Chatham County Farmland Preservation Program is offering a two-day farmland transition and estate planning workshop on Thursday, June 26, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Thursday, July 10, from 8:30 a.m. to noon at the Chatham County Agricultural and Conference Center at 1192 US Hwy 64 W Business, Pittsboro, NC 27312. Attendance at both workshops is recommended but not required.
The workshops are free, but registration is required. Chatham County residents may register online at https://forms.office.com/r/J6UYQPzzT3. Individuals may also register by contacting Farmland Preservation Coordinator Andrew Waters at (919) 545-8447 or andrew.waters@chathamcountync.gov.
According to the American Farmland Trust, 40 percent of America’s agricultural land will be in transition during the next 15 years. Without intentional planning, future generations may soon find themselves in a land access crisis. “Farmland transition, estate, and business planning is one of the most important steps you can take to preserve your farm for your heirs and future generations,” said Waters.
The workshop will include presentations and trainings from: the Land Loss Prevention Group, a legal aid nonprofit; the NC Farmlink Program, a farmland transition service of the N.C. State Cooperative Extension; the American Farmland Trust, a national nonprofit promoting agricultural preservation; and the Working Lands Trust, a statewide land conservancy.
“This two-day workshop is part of a series of programs the Chatham County Farmland Preservation Program is offering to Chatham landowners to address our rapid loss of farmland,” added Waters. “People often tell me about losing their family land when a senior relative dies without a proper estate plan. We want to help our landowners avoid that through proper planning.”
Chatham County’s Farmland Preservation Program is an initiative of the Chatham Soil & Water Conservation District in coordination with the Chatham County Center of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension.
