Today we're introducing you to one of our favorite podcasts, Reframing Rural, a show working to "reframe the narrative on rural America."

In this episode from their third season, "Groundwork," Reframing Rural producer Megan Torgerson shares the intimate journey of her family's farm succession, as well as others in her home community of Dagmar, Montana, giving listeners an inside look into the emotional, legal and financial factors at play with succession planning.

The topic of farm and ranch succession is at the top of mind for many folks in rural America today. Around 40% of farmland in the United States is owned by people over the age of 65, meaning up to 370 million acres could change hands in the next 20 years.

To quote Megan, "The fate of rural America matters to everyone, no matter where you live." And this show will help you understand why. Enjoy this guest episode, and Wolves in the West will be back with a new episode next week!
