Information for Service Providers

Do you support farmers and ranchers in the Southeast?

We have events and resources for you.

Our quarterly Land Transfer Navigators Regional Forums bring together local professionals who support farm and ranch transfers. Service providers such as attorneys, appraisers, lenders, mediators, and others specializing in succession and land transfer gather to create robust networks, share resources, and learn from each other.

Forums are co-hosted with AFT’s National Agricultural Land Network.
