FAIRFIELD, IOWA – 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 Friday, March 1, at 7:30 p.m. at the Fairfield Arts and Convention Center, 200 N. Main St., Fairfield, Iowa. Admission is free, hosted by the Center for Rural Affairs and Practical Farmers of Iowa.
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 Iowa ronda los 57.1 años”.
The featured actor is Erika Kuhn. An open discussion will follow the performance with Sally Worley, Practical Farmers of Iowa executive director.
Additional “Map of My Kingdom” performances in Iowa, co-hosted by the Practical Farmers of Iowa, are set in Iowa City on March 8, Jefferson on March 9, Ames on March 10, Milford on April 11, and Waterloo on April 13. Nebraska performances are scheduled for Ord on Feb. 28, Brownville on March 2, West Point on May 7, and Norfolk on May 9.
