In this live-recorded episode of Georgia Farm Bureau's podcast, host John Holcomb leads a powerful and deeply personal conversation on one of agriculture's most avoided topics: succession planning. Joined by estate attorney Taylor Broun and young farmer Garrett Hurley, the discussion blends legal insight with real-life experience to emphasize why planning ahead is critical for preserving generational farmland.

Taylor breaks down key components of a solid succession plan—from wills and trusts to LLCs and communication strategies—while Garrett shares his own emotional story of nearly losing his family farm due to the absence of a clear plan. Together, they explore the emotional, financial, and relational challenges of farm transition, and offer listeners guidance on where to begin—even if it feels uncomfortable.

Whether you're a multigenerational farmer or just starting your operation, this episode will challenge you to think beyond today and take steps to protect your legacy.
