Episode 160: "Getting Out of The Way Without Going Away" w/Dick Wittman

In this week’s episode, Tracy speaks with Dick Wittman about how to “Get out of the way, Without Going Away.”

Are you a farm founder looking to retire and not sure how?
Or maybe you are the upcoming farm generation hoping to transition into farm ownership?

If so, this episode is for you. Tracy and Dick chat about:

• Why farm families need to be having these conversations, and developing a plan, to help the founding generation successfully transition out of the role of main operator.
• Dick talks about the main key being a strong “foundation of successful transition.”
• He shares strategies for transitioning key roles in the business… mainly the CEO.
• They chat about some of Dick’s lessons, including successes, regrets, and resolutions.
• To wrap the episode up, Tracy asks Dick to share some final words of wisdom on why it’s so important to be intentional and have a plan to help guide the exiting generation.

If farm transition is on the horizon for your farm, no matter what your age, this episode is for you. Make sure to tune in…

Dick Wittman
Farm Management Expert, Wittman Consulting

I am a firm believer in the preservation of the family farm as the preferred entity to manage and steward our food production industry. This belief has been a primary driver in motivating me to help family farmers adopt more professional management practices. Many struggling farmers are quick to blame government interference, low prices, uncooperative lenders, foreign subsidies or greedy and indiscreet neighbors for all their problems.

In fact, much of the blame in their failure to achieve full potential rests with their management system and practices. Improved performance, teamwork, and quality of life is easily attainable if one develops a clear vision of how to incorporate improved management practices and invest in the effort to change.
