Mary Jo Irmen joins Tracy Brunet on the Impact Farming Show to reveal how Infinite Banking for farmers can protect your farm, simplify farm succession planning, and keep your operation in the family for generations.

In addition to providing an overview of the Infinite Banking Concept, they discuss specifically how it is instrumental in making transition planning work, how it helps in "fair and equal" situations with off-farm children, and how it factors into old-age care for the farm founders.

Mary Jo becomes fiery several times in this episode, including when discussing why farmers work so hard to build their operations over decades, only to have them destroyed by eventually being parcelled out and rendered no longer viable.

Key Takeaways:

• Why most estate plans fail and lead to losing the farm.
• How infinite banking gives farmers control over their money.
• The "discounted dollar" strategy that can save operations during a buyout.
• Why fair doesn't always mean equal in farm succession.
• How to avoid banks dictating your farm's future.
