AgSave$ – Securing Your Farm’s Financial Future
February 9, 2015
Farm families face unique issues concerning retirement and succession planning (who will own and/or manage the farm when the current owner is no longer able). Farming is a business which has evolved into more than just a way of life.
Now, successful farming includes in-depth financial planning, implementing and evaluating new enterprises, new techniques, new tools, and planning future ownership and management of the farmstead. Many times, unfortunately, “exit” strategies for retirement and succession of leadership are often overlooked.
The question, “Who will continue the farm?” is just as important as assessing the value of land, equipment, and livestock. The first step, which is often the hardest, in building a succession plan is to include and communicate with family members about the process. Some questions to get the conversation started with your family include:
- How do I become financially stable?
- How do I retire well?
- What do I need to do to secure the future of my farm?
To help with this important process, the University of Florida IFAS Extension faculty in the Panhandle are offering a newly developed personal finance and succession planning program for Florida farmers and their families called AgSave$. Farmers and their families involved with any agricultural industry are invited to join our Florida Commissioner of Agriculture, Adam Putnam, in a proclamation for the kick-off event, the AgSave$ Summit, at the UF/IFAS Extension Jackson County office on February 23 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. in Marianna with “satellite sites” located at the Extension offices in Jay Monticello
The first event is free of charge, and will focus on the importance of succession planning. Lunch is also provided free.. Registration for the AgSave$ Summit is being offered online a: bit.ly/AgSavesSummit, or by calling your local Extension office.
Following the initial “Summit,” you may wish to enroll in our AgSave$ Workshop Series beginning on March 24. This four session series of interactive workshops will focus on the basics of securing your farm’s financial future and will be offered locally in County Extension offices across the Florida Panhandle. The cost of this series is $55 for the entire family (up to four members). In addition to learning from our featured speakers, which are experts in the field of financial planning, participants will receive a Farm Journal Legacy Project Workbook to help walk your family through the succession planning process. For more information on these programs, contact Libbie Johnson or Dorothy Leeat the
UF IFAS Escambia County Extension office at 3740 Stefani Road in Cantonment at (850) 475-5230 or email libbiej@ufl.edu or dclee@ufl.edu.

Last Night: Tate High Drama Presents ‘The Addams Family: A Musical Comedy’
February 7, 2015
Tonight is the final production of the the Tate High School Drama Department’s “The Addams Family: A Musical Comedy” on the school cafetorium stage. The final show is at 7:00.
The creepy, kooky, mysterious, spooky and altogether “ooky” Addams Family story brings the characters of Gomez Addams, Morticia Addams, Uncle Fester, Wednesday Addams, Pugsley Addams, Grandma, Lurch and others onto the stage in an original story with Wednesday falling in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that weren’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s ‘normal’ boyfriend and his parents.
The Tate Drama Department will also be conducting a silent auction to help raise funds for the state competition. Tickets are $10 for the reserved section and $7 for general admission.
