Farm & Ranch Center
We provide farmers and ranchers the tools to deal with the stressors of the agriculture industry.
The Idaho Farm and Ranch Center was created in 2020, in response to requests, concerns and hopes brought to us by agriculturalists across the state. The mission of the Center is to collaborate with partners to promote resources and organize efforts that help farmers and ranchers cultivate a viable and resilient agricultural industry.
Agriculturalists face numerous challenges, from the joys and pressures of multi-generational farm management to the capital-intensive nature of agriculture. To meet the needs of agricultural producers, the Center provides resources on key topic areas of mental health/managing farm stress, succession and estate planning, managing a family business and starting a farm or ranch.
Financial planning and management are the most important aspects of successful farms and ranches.
The most important thing you can do is work on your succession plan first – then start on your estate plan.
Take care of yourself – you put the farm and family first, but neither can function without you!
The Farm & Ranch Center thanks our Veterans for their service. We offer resource information for Veterans already involved in agriculture, new to agriculture, and more!
The Idaho Farm and Ranch Succession Planning Course was created to help you start those difficult conversations.
