Host Carwyn Jones is joined by Karen Anthony, Associate Solicitor at Agri-advisor, Abi Reader, Deputy President, NFU and Charles de Winton, Rural Surveyor at the CLA to discuss how succession planning is an essential part of running a family farm business and why the biggest long-term threat to any family farm, is the lack of a robust succession plan.
