130 | Lessons from a Family Farm Transition: Coming Back + Buying Out + Bringing in Multiple Partners - with Tommy Oesch, Swisslane Farms

In this episode of the Uplevel Dairy Podcast, I am sitting down with Tommy Oesch, a partner at Swisslane Farms in Michigan. This conversation was so good, that I am breaking it down into two parts for you. Today, you will hear Tommy as he discusses the complexities and challenges of transitioning ownership and management of a dairy farm from one generation to the next. 

Tune in to hear more on: 

• The necessity for critical family conversations, 

• The importance of working elsewhere before returning to the family farm

• The strategic planning needed for succession

• And the valuable lessons learned from both successes and mistakes during the transition process

Don’t forget to tune back in on Thursday for part two of this conversation with Tommy to find out some of the painful mistakes he’s made, what he learned from them, and how it helped him and his partners to up-level their advisory team.
