About The Book
Secrets to Preserving Families and Perpetuating Farms
The world is facing one of the greatest eras of farm transitions in history. These events can be stressful and dangerous to the future of family relationships and the farm operation. Is your family ready for the ownership and management transitions that will need to take place?
Dave Specht in The Farm Whisperer tackles some of the top issues that cause these plans to stall or not take place at all. He shares his secrets to making the planning process more intuitive through his use of Inspired Questions-For Farmers.
The end results of proper transition planning are feeding the world, protecting family relationships and keeping the farm or ranch in the family.
Specht shares his real life stories of consulting with some of America’s oldest and largest farms in an effort to provide clarity on your next steps in your farm succession journey.

“Dave Specht has a sensibility that is perfect for farmers: he listens. His style is practical, approachable, and focused. But, it all starts with a farm family telling their story, and Dave listens – with a purpose and a passion for farmers.â€

“The Farm Whisperer builds a bridge between the agricultural community and the financial industry; serving both sides equally. It helps farmers and ranchers understand the need for coordinated succession planning and financial strategies. At the same time, it helps financial advisors better understand and empathize with the common challenges of their agri-client’s operation. Better understanding and appreciation between both sides ultimately results in longevity for the family farm/ ranch.â€
