## Resource

Farm succession planning is one of the most important – and often most delayed – conversations on family farms. While Canadian agriculture is built on family ownership, the majority of farms still do not have a clear succession plan in place. In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy sits down with Derryn Shrosbree to talk about why succession planning so often stalls and what farm families can do to move forward with confidence. After years of helping farmers navigate complex succession planning through 33seven, Derryn saw firsthand how overwhelming and fragmented the process can become. That experience led him to launch Farmstrong, a new approach designed to simplify the process and bring all the moving pieces together in one integrated solution. If succession planning has been sitting on your farm's "someday" list, this conversation will help you understand why the process feels so complicated—and how it can become much more manageable.
