Drainage School to focus on regulatory issues and damage
Indiana Farm Bureau’s Drainage School, a seminar focusing on Indiana drainage issues, will take place on Aug. 24 at IFB’s home office in downtown Indianapolis.
This year’s sessions will focus on local regulatory issues, dams, and septic damage. Topics include technical programs, resources, and liability issues.
The seminar’s purpose is to promote an understanding of the laws and regulations that control drainage laws and dispute resolutions. It is open to farmers, public officials, agency personnel, attorneys and members of the general public. Continuing education credit is being sought for attorneys.
Registration begins at 8:30 a.m.; the program runs from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Lunch is provided. Registration will be accepted until Aug. 5 or until the program is filled, whichever comes sooner. Last year’s event filled up very quickly due to limited space. Those interested are encouraged to register early. Registration is not complete without payment, and there will be no refunds after Aug. 5.
Attendees can register online for $50 at www.infarmbureau.org under the programs menu. Anyone with questions can contact Maria Spellman, 317-692-7840 or mspellman@infarmbureau.org.
The event is sponsored by IFB, Association of Indiana Counties, Indiana Association of County Commissioners, County Surveyors Association of Indiana, Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts and Indiana Land Improvement Contractors Association.
