In August 2022, the Agriculture Law Education Initiative (ALEI) will host a webinar series to discuss business structure considerations for farm entrepreneurs. A farm’s business structure affects daily operations, taxes, the ability to have multiple investors, succession planning, and personal liability exposure. Farm owners should be sure they choose a business structure that gives them the right balance of legal protections and benefits according to their business goals. All are welcome to attend, however, the webinars will be particularly valuable for beginning farmers.

Each Monday in August, 12:00 – 1:00 PM EST, attendees will have an opportunity to hear from diverse legal, accounting, and insurance professionals and growers on a new topic to consider for managing their farm operation. The webinars will cover the major considerations when making a decision about how to structure a farm business. A bonus session is also scheduled for Wednesday August 31 (12:00 – 1:00 PM EST) to hear from a farm owner about their experience choosing and managing their business structure. Each webinar will include approximately 20 minutes for group discussion and Q & A.
