(INDIANAPOLIS) – May 22, 2025 – Registration is now open for Indiana Farm Bureau’s Agricultural Contracting Program. The event will be held virtually on Thursday, June 26, from 9 a.m. to noon Eastern Time.
This program, now in its second year, will focus on the process of agricultural contracts and leases, providing farmers and landowners with a better understanding of contracting basics and renewable energy leases.
“Working through a contract or lease can often be a cumbersome and overwhelming task for farmers,” said Mark Thornburg, INFB executive director of legal affairs. “This workshop is designed to help them understand the difference between farmland leases and production contracts, as well as the importance of having a legally binding agreement. We hope they walk away feeling more educated and better prepared when dealing with a farmland transaction.”
The session topics and speakers include:
- Agricultural Contracting Basics. Presented by Todd Janzen, Janzen Schroeder Ag Law.
- Agricultural Contracts. Presented by Harrison M. Pittman, The National Agricultural Law Center.
- Renewable Energy Contracts. Presented by Brianna Schroeder, Janzen Schroeder Ag Law.
The cost is free to INFB members and $50 for non-members. The workshop is sponsored by the Indiana Agricultural Law Foundation, which promotes a better understanding of legal issues facing Indiana agriculture through educational programming, legal research and support of precedent-setting litigation.
Registration for the event is required. Attendees may register at www.infb.org/events through Tuesday, June 24. CLE credits for attending attorneys are being sought.
