American Farmland Trust’s Land Transfer Training is designed for practitioners to help farmers or ranchers and agricultural landowners plan for a farm or ranch transition.
Prepare to Tell Your Story is the fourth of five modules in the training. It empowers participants to create and share their stories as a way to build support for their farm or ranch business. Using their values, vision and goals statements as a springboard, participants will clarify their unique story and practice sharing it with others. They will work to adapt their storytelling to suit various audiences. The primary goal is for landholders and land seekers to share their vision and values and learn to communicate more effectively for a successful land transfer.
Each module includes materials for practitioners – a teaching plan, student learning plan and a PowerPoint presentation with presenter notes. Modules also include learning materials that practitioners can share with farmers or ranchers and landowners. These include information sheets, activity worksheets, assessment documents and resource lists. You will find the complete module below in Downloadable Documents.
