EcoFarm Conference Discussion Group: Communication and Legal Strategies for Farm & Ranch Stakeholders

Changes to the management or operations of a farm or ranch can be overwhelming.

These moments can provide for financial success for all parties, while also creating an opportunity for an authentic and meaningful experience. Join Olivia Boyce-Abel and Maija West for a discussion about the communication and legal strategies that make these changes powerful opportunities for your business or farm. Attendees will leave the workshop with relevant tools and techniques.
