This study was an evaluation of the Ag-Link Program, a college-to-farm transition program begun by the College of Agriculture at Iowa State University in March and April of 1995. The program sought to facilitate the transition that students and their families make when a student returns to the farm after graduation from college. Speakers from agricultural economics, sociology, and human development addressed concerns that intergenerational farm families should resolve to ensure success of family operations. Participants reported that the program was beneficial and indicated that future sessions should include more information on financial matters and family relations.
