About the Author
Brent Turner has spent his lifetime in agriculture, working alongside farming and ranching families across the country. His deep understanding of the land, the work, and the people who dedicate their lives to both has shaped his approach to succession planning and family communication.
With decades of experience advising agricultural families through transitions, Brent has witnessed both the heartbreak of families torn apart by poor planning and the joy of those who navigate change with wisdom and intention.
He writes not as an outsider looking in, but as someone who understands the weight of the land, the complexity of family dynamics, and the profound responsibility of stewardship that defines agricultural life.
