Registered Farm Partnership are a legal arrangement where two or more individuals operate as a single business, sharing profits, decision-making, and responsibilities.
This model is often used as the first step in succession planning, bringing the next generation into the farming business at an earlier stage and officially recognising their role in the farming operation. They can be a powerful tool to blend experience with energy – combining an older farmer’s knowledge with a younger partner’s ambition. Partnerships are also used between non-family members, bringing together two farming operations where resources can be pooled, efficiencies of scale can be maximised and labour and management tasks can be shared between the partners.
