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? , a play commissioned by Practical Farmers of Iowa and written by Iowa’s Poet Laureate Mary Swander, tackles the critical issue of land transition and how it has become a major issue throughout the United States today.

In the drama, Angela Martin, a lawyer and mediator in land transition disputes, shares stories of how farmers and landowners she has worked with over the years approached their land successions. “Some people literally killed each other over this issue,” Martin says. Others almost came to blows, struggling to resolve the sale or transfer of their land, dissolving relationships. Others found peacefully rational solutions that focused not only on the viability of the family, but also of the land.

Anyone who has ever owned anything—whether a farm, a building, a house or even a pie tin—understands the important of inheritance and what a battle it can become.

Cora Vander Broek gives a stirring performance in this video of the play with direction by Matt Foss and videography by Joe Hubers.
