In this episode of On Life & Land, we speak with Bill Spiegel, field editor for John Deere's The Furrow magazine, about one of the most important — yet under-discussed — aspects of farming: succession planning. Along the way, Bill introduces us to two couples, Mark and Brenna Wulfkuhle and Bryan and Diane Fishburn, who have taken an unusual approach to planning for the future.

On Life & Land is produced for John Deere by Bader Rutter and is hosted by David Jones, former editor of John Deere's The Furrow magazine. Recording, mixing and mastering services are provided by RecWest Studio, and our music is by Dale May.
