This checklist lists concrete steps a landowner can take to help make a farm or ranch transfer happen. Many of these steps may not be applicable or happen at the same time.

As a land seeker, either with or without the landowner, use this worksheet to identify which transfer signs have been addressed, and which ones have not, in order to determine next steps and identify a timeline.

This checklist is part of American Farmland Trust’s Farmland for the Next Generation – Land Access Training Curriculum.
