Celebrate Farm Transition Appreciation Day On January 7, 2027
Created to encourage and celebrate the progress Canada's farmers are making on their farm transition journeys, FTADay brings people together to share stories, advice and resources through social media, agricultural media and learning events across the country.
This year's theme, “It starts with a conversation,” recognizes that transition planning begins with people sharing their hopes, questions and expectations. Whether a farm family is taking its first steps or revisiting an established plan, a conversation can help build understanding and identify what comes next.
The New Year offers an opportunity to recognize the progress already made and take another step forward. FTADay is both a celebration and a call to action: make time to talk, listen and plan together.
To kick things off, here are 3 farm transition planning tips:
Start conversations early and establish a mutually agreed transition timeline. Review your plan with farm business experts, including advisors, accountants, lawyers and financial planners, considering fairness and the farm's financial viability. Identify the qualifications, experience and skills successors will need based on the evolving needs of the business and capture these in a written job description.How can you support Farm Transition Appreciation Day?
Farmers, industry organizations, agribusinesses, governments and agricultural media are encouraged to help create a national conversation about farm transition.
- Highlight FTADay through your websites, social media, industry publications and other communication channels. Share farm transition stories, conversation starters, tips, resources, and tools. Host a virtual or in-person event for your members, clients or community. Follow and mention Farm Management Canada and use #FTADay and #FarmTransition to join the conversation.
Let us know what you're planning so we can help promote your FTADay activities.
