KLKN-TV A new extension land link program could make retirement simpler for many farmers and ranchers February 3, 2021 9:06 am courtesy: University of Nebraska LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN)- Traditionally, ranches and farms are multi-generational. But when a farmer doesn’t have an heir to their land, retirement can get tricky. A new extension land link program in Nebraska is going to work with retiring landowners who want to transition their land to a new farmer/rancher. Nebraska Land Link will be accepting applications for those interested in the program “with the goal of providing land access using lease agreements, lease-to-own arrangements, buy-sell arrangements or other creative methods that are mutually beneficial for both parties” officials said in the news release.
