Описание: Family farms aren’t just businesses — they’re deeply personal, multi-generational ecosystems where money, identity, and relationships collide.

In this video, we explore why financial transparency is essential for the survival of family farms and family businesses, and why avoiding money conversations often leads to conflict, mistrust, and costly mistakes.

You’ll learn:
