BROWNVILLE, NEBRASKA – Who’s going to get the farm? And what are they going to do with it? Will your future plans for your land create harmony or strife for your family? Or have you even started to think that far ahead?
“Map of My Kingdom,” a play focusing on farmland transfer, will be presented on Saturday, March 2, at 7 p.m. at Brownville Village Theater, 222 Water St., Brownville, Nebraska. Admission is free, hosted by the Center for Rural Affairs.
La obra de teatro que aborda la transición de tierras es de Mary Swander y fue encargada por Practical Farmers of Iowa. En la obra, un abogado y un mediador comparten historias sobre cómo los agricultores y los terratenientes abordan la sucesión de tierras.
“Esperamos que esta obra inspire a los indecisos y temerosos a iniciar la conversación que no puede esperar”, dijo Sandra Renner, asociada de proyectos del Centro de Asuntos Rurales. “En los próximos 10 a 15 años, se producirá una enorme transferencia de tierras, ya que la edad promedio de los agricultores de Nebraska ronda los 55.7 años”.
The featured actor is Lindsay Bauer, a theatre educator from northwest Iowa. An open discussion will follow the performance with Dave Goeller, retired deputy director of North Central Risk Management Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Additional “Map of My Kingdom” performances in Nebraska are set in Ord on Feb. 28, West Point on May 7, and Norfolk on May 9. Iowa performances, co-hosted by the Practical Farmers of Iowa, are scheduled in Fairfield on March 1, Iowa City on March 8, Jefferson on March 9, Ames on March 10, Milford on April 11, and Waterloo on April 13.
