But what if summer is actually the best time to start? In this episode of The Impact Farming Show, Tracy sits down with farm succession expert Derryn Shrosbree to discuss why the busiest season on the farm may also be the most valuable season for planning the future.

If you've been putting off succession planning because you're too busy, this conversation may change the way you think about preparing for the future.
