“…Farm or ranch owners who responded to an online survey formed an availability, or convenience, sample (Schutt, 2006). The survey targeted “farm/ranch owners” as well as “farm/ranch seekers in the Plains and Midwest states.” We have published an analysis comparing the seekers' responses to the owners' responses (Valliant et al , 2020). Here, we further examine the owners' responses only.…”

PurposeBeginning farmers and ranchers (BFRs) are more likely to access land through an unrelated landowner than through family. Thus, farm and ranch owners who might transfer their land or businesses out of family are potential sources of land access for BFRs and are the most frequent participants in incentive programs to facilitate land transfer to BFRs. To assist in identifying landowners who might transfer out of family, the paper aims to explore similarities and differences between landowners according to their expectations for intra-familial versus extra-familial farm transfer.Design/methodology/approachPairwise and regression analysis of USA Midwestern and Plains landowners' responses to an online survey (n = 322).FindingsLandowners who might transfer out of family were likely to need the proceeds from a land sale to finance their retirement. Landowners' financial needs interacted with their widespread interest in transferring to a BFR such that 97% of owners who expected extra-familial transfer wanted to transfer to a BFR. There were also statistical patterns around the size of owners' landholdings in relation to their transfer plans.Research limitations/implicationsThis exploratory inquiry suggests patterns for future research to examine, especially around landowners' juxtaposition of their retirement income and their interest in transferring to a BFR and how to align these priorities and values.Originality/valueBy exploring the characteristics of landowners who are the most likely to provide land access to BFRs, the authors begin to examine how to target these owners in program outreach. Patterns for further exploration point to landowners' financial needs in relation to their interest in helping a BFR to get started in agriculture.

“…Since the perspectives, experiences and decisions of landowners affect BFRs' opportunities, this paper contributes to an emerging focus on landowners' views of farm transfer and succession in general and BFR land access in the specific (Calo, 2020; Joosse and Grubbström, 2017; Valliant et al. , 2019, 2020).…”

“…Analyses of barriers to land access and farm/ ranch transfer (Valliant et al, 2020) and policy responses often call for more states to emulate existing state LAPI policies (Ackoff et al, 2017;Meuleners, 2013) and for the federal government to continue to expand investment in CRP-TIP (Calo & Petersen-Rockney, 2018;Slack, 2013). The USDA Advisory Committee on Beginning Farmers and Ranchers Land Tenure Subcommittee (2015) similarly recommended a scale-up of state-level LAPIs to the federal level.…”

n behalf of the JAFSCD staff and community, I would like to extend condolences to anyone in the JAFSCD community-our shareholders-who have lost family members or colleagues during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are with you. We also wish anyone who has contracted the virus our best wishes for a speedy and full recovery, and hope for a better future for those whose lives have been turned topsyturvey by the pandemic.On May 26, 2020, the United States officially reported losing 100,000 individuals, many of whom were vulnerable to this plague-especially the poor, people of color, the elderly, and essential workers. This represents a moral and systemic failure for the world's richest country. As Americans are cobbling together an assortment of food provisioning strategies, what we are witnessing is a demonstration of just how fragile American food security is in a time of crisis. However, as you'll see in this open call issue, COVID-19 is also highlighting our strengths and creativity, and what we can build on in a future food system that contributes to our overall health, well-being, and social resiliency.In response to the need for timely information, we are launching a year-long call for submissions on COVID-19 and the food system. We are fast-tracking for publication commentaries from researchers and Voices from the Grassroots essays from non-academics. In addition, we are calling for peer-reviewed papers to be submitted this fall (see details at https://foodsystemsjournal.org/index.php/fsj/call-for-papers). OOn our cover: Like many local food venues around the U.S. and world, the Ithaca (New York) Farmers Market (https://ithacamarket.com/) moved quickly to enable sales to continue safely in early spring as the COVID-19 pandemic grew.

ZusammenfassungDieser Beitrag untersucht die agrarsoziologische und sozioökonomische Forschung zur Hofnachfolge. Ausgehend von theoretischen und empirischen Definitionen der Hofnachfolge, Forschungsfragen, empirischen Methoden und der Einbettung in die Literatur werden fünf Forschungsperspektiven erarbeitet: i) Hofnachfolge als langjähriger komplexer sozialer Prozess, ii) Hofnachfolge und Ruhestand als spiegelbildliche Prozesse, iii) Wahrscheinlichkeit der Hofnachfolge als Funktion endogener und exogener Einflussfaktoren, iv) Hofnachfolge als Einflussfaktor auf bäuerliche Haushaltsstrategien und v) Hofnachfolge im Kontext von Überalterung in der Landwirtschaft. Jede Perspektive bietet spezifische Einblicke in die Hofnachfolge in landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben.
