Sales Extension to help farm families with business planning Family farmers can get tips from Purdue University specialists on business communication and dealing with accounting and legal issues during a succession planning program offered at 10 sites in Indiana. ���Cultivating Strong Indiana Farm Family Relationships for Today and Tomorrow��� will be offered beginning in January and continue into March. Purdue���s Women in Agriculture and Farm Succession Planning teams in partnership with the North Central Risk Management Education Center present the program. Kelly Heckaman, Purdue Extension educator in Kosciusko County, said Indiana farmers and farm wives have asked educators for advice on handling their family businesses. ���In order to get estate planning started in families, they need to be able to communicate about it. And it���s an emotional topic, so it can be hard to get those conversations started,��� Heckaman said. ���The workshops will give families ideas on improving their conversations and skills to help them work through their problems and keep their families intact.��� Purdue Extension presenters include Janet Ayres, agricultural economist; Angela Gloy, farm business planning specialist; county educators; and members of Purdue���s Farm Family Succession Planning Team. Heckaman said Extension and local communities collaborate on the program, as organizers will invite local accountants and attorneys to speak on financial strategies. The first session���s agenda topics are: ���A Great Year to Farm: New Farmer Financial Skills,��� ���The Team Approach: Working Together Through Transition��� and ���Communicating for Success.��� The second session���s lineup is ���Business Structure and Taxes,��� ���The Truth about Pre- and Post-Nuptial Agreements��� and ���Strategies for Managing Conflict.��� Registration is $50 for individuals or $100 for families up to four members. Contact local program hosts or Purdue Extension county offices to register. Program questions can be directed to Heckaman at 574-372-2340.

(USPS 604-340) A Poem in Memory of Our Precious Son Jeremy Wayne Bryant March 2, 1980 ��� Jan 1, 1998 In Our Hearts PEACE of MIND We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday, And the days before that too. Let our 122 years of experience aid you in your selection of a meaningful memorial. SCHUM MONUMENTS, INC. Dale, Indiana 937-4921 Local Representative RONALD WOODS 789-2009 We think of you in silence, We often speak your name. Now all we have are memories, And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, With which we���ll never part. God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts. We love you, Son! You are with us always! Mom & Dad In Memory of Lathe Wayne Barnett In Memory of Brenda Cummings 10.04.1954���12.17.2011 Mom, wife, sister and friend not sure where to begin. You showed throughout your life, there will be good and strife. But through it all you took the call to serve and love for Him who is above. You helped us see what we all could be, by accepting God as a friend, He will stay with us to the end. When we said ���good night��� your soul took flight to rejoice with those who were there before, happy, singing and dancing forevermore. It���s been a whole year, but we still hold you near, knowing you���re shining bright in His heavenly light. Leah Capehart 21st Birthday 12.26.12 No one remembers, We cannot say why Only thing we keep thinking Is that nobody knows why? You were mine, only mine No one knew you like me I don���t know why You couldn���t be We shared so much In our short time together, And the time we shared Has made memories forever So much I learned So much I lost Everything turned, toppled and tossed Butterfly flutters, then turns and kicks Then, that sad day No cry, no movement, not even a breath As you lay on my tummy Perfect in death When we think of you now At the age you would be 21 years old. Our son you were Our son you���ll always be Love, Dad & Mom
