Farm Marketer: Nearly 3,000 Family Farms Disappear from Canada Each Year

Nearly 3,000 family farms disappear in Canada every year — and outdated inheritance laws are a major reason why.

On this episode of The Impact Farming Show, we talk with Derryn Shrosbree of 33seven about the silent crisis threatening the future of family agriculture. Current tax laws allow farms to be passed to children tax-deferred… but not to nieces or nephews — even if they’ve worked the land for decades.

For many families, this creates impossible tax burdens that force the sale of generational farms.
This isn’t just about one family. It impacts rural communities, food security, and the future of Canadian farming.

This conversation is about legacy, fairness, and protecting the future of family farming in Canada.
