Land Transfer Navigators

The goal of the Land Transfer Navigators partnership is to significantly increase the transfer of farm and ranch land to a new generation of producers.

The program is catalyzing organizations from across the country to support farm and ranch transfers that benefit retiring and aspiring generations.  

Toward our goal, we are addressing complex challenges that affect: 

  • Farm and ranch families

  • Retiring landowners

  • A diverse, new generation of farmers and ranchers

  • Organizations providing land access and transfer support

To meet these challenges we are -

We are providing grants to farmers and ranchers to support transfer planning.

Through AFT’s Brighter Future Fund we launched Farm & Ranch Transition Support Grants to assist farmers, ranchers, and landowners in successfully transferring, accessing, or protecting farm and ranch land. 

Projects are eligible if:

  1. Applicants are actively working with a Land Transfer Navigator and

  2. The land involved in the transfer is permanently protected or in the process of becoming permanently protected, with an agricultural conservation easement.

Upcoming Land Transfer Regional Forums

Land Transfer Regional Forums bring together local professionals such as attorneys, appraisers, lenders, and mediators to coordinate efforts and better support farm and ranch transfers.

Our staff across the organization are training, building networks, and setting up holistic systems to support farmers and ranchers in planning for the future of their land.
