Farm Tax, Estate Law Expert to Present Free Webinar

For many farm families, managing taxes and decisions about what happens to the farm after they leave the business can be very difficult.

Ever-changing laws and regulations make it even more complicated.

Women Managing the Farm and Kansas State University’s Department of Agricultural Economics will host a nationally recognized speaker on both topics during a webinar planned for Monday, Nov. 29.

Roger McEowen, a professor of agricultural law and taxation at the Washburn University School of Law, will present ‘Planning in Uncertain Times: Farm and Ranch Estate and Income Tax Planning,” beginning at 7 p.m.

The online session is free and can be accessed at www.agmanager.info, Look for a link directly to the session in the ‘Upcoming Events’ menu, or at www.womenmanagingthefarm.com.

McEowen will discuss the “foundational truths and tools available to farmers and ranchers” as they consider estate and tax planning, according to information provided by K-State’s Women Managing the Farm program.

The session is designed to provide factual, up-to-date information for farm and ranch families.
