A Practical and Emotional Look at Passing the Baton in Farming

We, along with Craigs Investment Partners, are hosting an event later this month to take a deeper look at the practical and emotional side of succession planning.

Succession planning is vital for both a business and a family’s future, yet nine out of ten farming businesses don’t have a succession plan in place. It’s often left until retirement, which can lead to challenges down the track.

With this in mind, farmers and rural professionals are invited to attend a powerful and practical seminar headlined by renowned rural advocate and mental health champion Doug Avery – The Resilient Farmer. Doug will share his deeply personal journey through farm succession, offering a rare blend of emotional honesty, resilience, and practical wisdom drawn from lived experience.

Event Details

  • Date: Wednesday, 21 May

  • Location: Millennium Hotel, Taupō

Attendees will hear from a diverse panel of expert advisors who will share their approaches to successful succession planning — including key strategies, real-world case studies, and common pitfalls to avoid.

Nick Hume, Client Advisor at BFA, says:

“Farm succession is one of the most important – and often highly emotional – decisions a farming family will face. This event is about creating space for honest conversation, sharing practical tools, and learning from people who have walked the path.”

Whether you’re just beginning the conversation or are already deep in planning, this event will offer essential guidance for every stage of the journey.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.
