The family farm, a place of property ownership and economic activity, is brought into the public arena allowing for feminist analysis on the process of farm inheritance/succession. My research brings daughters of farmers, half of each farming generation and previously under-represented, into the discussions on issues of farm inheritance/succession. The research also examines the wider social ramifications of focussing on boys as successors to family farms; that is, it examines the effects of the out-migration of proportionally more young women than men from rural spaces and the subsequent loss of rural community social amenities.
