The Future of Family Farms by Teresa Opheim
A monumental transfer of farmland is occurring in the US. Five times as many farmers are over sixty-five as are under thirty-five. What will happen to this land? Who will own it? What if keeping the farm in the family means foregoing the significant profits that could be earned from selling it? These sometimes painful and divisive questions confront many farmers and farmland owners today.
Teresa Opheim has worked for the Iowa Environmental Council, the Environmental Law Institute, and the US Environmental Protection Agency. She led the Midwest Sustainable Agriculture Working Group before serving as the executive director of Practical Farmers of Iowa from 2006 to 2016. Opheim is coauthor of Our National Wetland Heritage. She continues to work on farm transfer issues from her home in the Twin Cities.
