My dad spent his teen years trapping and it basically paid for all of his hunting gear.
He got out of it when he got married and I never learnt the trade.
Do I need a license to trap on the family farm or farms in the area. Would love to learn how to do this so I can past this skill on to my kids down the line.

Depends what....beavers, raccoons and skunks no. Coyotes and weasel definitely.
you can trap the beaver with out a licence on the farm
"Beaver may be hunted and trapped, without a licence and during all seasons, on privately owned land by the owner or occupant of the land, or by a resident with written permission from the owner or occupant of the land."
Trap the beaver, have some fun and be careful.
Shoot the coyotes.
Maybe a local or local youth that's geared up , certified and wants to trap muskrats on your property ?
