rural areas.
The encouraging thing about Rappahannock, County Administrator John McCarthy said, is that a large number of the young people who stand in line to inherit farms actually want to do the work. The trend for several years in most parts of the United States has been for younger farming generations to move to urban areas and leave the farm behind.
“We have another generation that wants to farm.” McCarthy said. “It’s very heartening to see a generation of young people - sometimes sixth, seventh generation - that wants to farm.”
McCarthy said such workshops help farmers become better acquainted with tax laws and other financial considerations that they will need to face when it’s time to pass on their farms.
Other groups coordinating the workshop are the Rappahannock County Conservation Alliance, the Rappuhannock NonProfit Center the Piedmont Environmental Council, the Rappuhannock Cooperative Extension Office and the Culpeper Sod and Water Conservation District.
The workshop is free. A beef stew dinner will be served at 5:30 and the program will start at 6. Walk-ins are welcome, but anyone planning to attend is asked to RSVP to 987-9118 by Friday.
