Ag Law In The Field

Attention, everyone.  This is the inaugural podcast appearance of the one and only Dr. Shannon Ferrell.  If you know Shannon, you love him.  He is one of the best, most popular professors at Oklahoma State University and an extremely in-demand speaker on agricultural law issues across the nation.  We are honored to be his first podcast appearance! Shannon grew up on his family farm at Leedy, Oklahoma and obtained his bachelor's and master's degrees in Agricultural Economics at Oklahoma State University and his law degree at Oklahoma City University School of Law.  After several years in private practice, he landed his dream job teaching agricultural law at Oklahoma State University. Today, we are talking about a topic near and dear to both Shannon's heart and my own, and that is transition planning for farm and ranch families.  As Shannon explains, "transition planning" includes both an estate plan to pass on personal assets at death and a succession plan to transfer control and ownership of a family business
