Sutherland Monitor Farm meeting
11am, Brora Golf Club, KW9 6QS
Tuesday, January 30

This meeting will focus on the important, but often neglected, topics of achieving lifestyle balance and succession planning. 
At the meeting, Heather Wildman, from Saviour Associates, will suggest ways for those who attend the meeting to work with their families and prepare for their own succession. She will also address some of the reasons why those involved in farming too often avoid planning for succession and suggest some questions farmers and crofters should ask themselves at that start of the process.
