Don’t Split the Yard

Getting the Conversation Started and Moving from the Farm Home

Is it time for Mom and Dad to let you live on the main yard?

Farming parents have strong emotional attachments to the main farmyard, the “home place.” The next generation has younger children and is usually more than ready to change homes, or build nearby in order to be close to the main action of the farm.

Letting go of the farm home and moving to a different residence is hard. In this audio of her presentation given to farmers at Ag Days in Brandon, Manitoba, farm family coach Elaine Froese tells it “like it is.”

Discover how to identify and prevent common mistakes such as:

• Avoiding conflict about the house issue
• Stubbornness
• Lack of respect for privacy
• No financial plan to build a new home
• Lack of legal input for good title advice

This audio will help you get the conversation started and learn more about the unspoken expectations and emotional factors affecting the move. Perhaps there are some new options that you haven’t considered that will be the “tipping point” towards actually moving!

If you don’t own the title to the land your home is sitting on, if you are not sure when you are going to get your in-laws’ stuff out of your basement, or if you are considering bringing a new spouse to the home place, this audio is for you!
