New ASA Member Benefit Supports Farm Succession Planning

Oct 01, 2013

eLegacyConnect_4cThe American Soybean Association (ASA) welcomes a new partnership with eLegacyConnect to offer an important tool to help members protect their farms and their family legacy. eLegacyConnect is a subscription-based succession planning web community. ASA members receive a 20 percent discount on an annual subscription when signing up by using the promo code listed on the ASA Membership Benefits page at SoyGrowers.com.

eLegacyConnect is a dynamic online succession planning community giving subscribers the opportunity to participate in activities necessary to preserve, promote, and pass the family farm to a well-prepared next generation. eLegacyConnect engages users in succession planning activities that generate results and provides the resources necessary to improve the outcome while encouraging open discussion among families and professional advisors.

“This is a great new benefit for our members,” said Bob Worth, Chairman, ASA Membership and Corporate Relations Committee. “Succession planning is one of those things that producers tend to put off until later but never get it addressed. eLegacyConnect is a great service to assist members take the first step in protecting their farms and their legacy.”

eLegacyConnect provides educational resources, action plans, community forums and a number of meaningful experiences to help farm families achieve their succession planning goals. eLegacyConnect is a division of Legacy by Design, LLC, a company dedicated solely to succession planning in the agricultural community.

“This site is an effort to make Legacy by Design’s resources available to a broader audience, help more families engage in the process, and offer the assistance people need to realize their legacy goals,” said Kevin Spafford, the founder of Legacy by Design and the architect for the Farm Journal Legacy Project.
