Helping farm families
find understanding
Hi! I’m Elaine Froese and I LOVE working with farm families.
For over 30 years I’ve been a sounding board for farm families as they seek to find ways to work together in harmony and prepare the farm for the next generation. As a farmer myself, and mother to the successor of our farm, I understand the culture of agriculture like the back of my hand.
As a professional speaker, it’s my passion to share simple, practical and actionable tools with farm families so they can talk about tough issues and get traction in their farm transition.
I’m on a mission to guide farm families to get unstuck, communicate better, find harmony through understanding, and secure a successful farm transition.

Finding Fairness in Farm Transition.
Finding harmony in understanding.
Passing down the farm with the reality of high land values is complicated but not impossible.
Do you want your farm business to remain intact for the next generation? Most do. Do you want the family to get along and come home for gatherings? Most do. What most farms don’t do is break down assumptions, have robust respectful family meetings, and discover the expectations of ALL family members for the succession or transition of the farm.
Elaine Froese is an expert in quickly mapping out the family dynamic and identifying the key challenges that need to be unpacked.

Discuss the UndiscussabullTM
In many farm kitchens there’s a bull in the middle of the room – what I’ve termed as the “Undiscussabull” – the thing no one is willing to talk about it. That stops now!
Most families know they need to talk about tough issues; they just don’t know HOW or where to get started.
If you’re stuck and wanting to bring your family to the table to start the conversation, find out about my unique process called “Discuss the UndiscussabullTM“.
