(Indianapolis) – August 23, 2018 – Indiana Farm Bureau hosted its annual Drainage School at the INFB headquarters on Wednesday. The seminar, “Understanding Laws that Impact Drainage Decisions,” promoted an understanding of the laws and regulations that control drainage to help attendees make more informed drainage decisions.
More than 100 Hoosier farmers, public officials, agency personnel, attorneys and interested members of the public were in attendance.
This year’s program included sessions on railroads and drainage easements, drainage in INDOT rights-of-way, legally removing obstructions, licensing requirements for maintenance spraying, and federal permitting requirements. Below is a full list of speakers and topics:
“At Indiana Farm Bureau, we believe that it takes education to be successful,” said Randy Kron, INFB president. “That’s especially true in agriculture. That’s why we host events like Drainage School for our members and anyone else who’s interested in expanding their knowledge on a particular subject.”
To assist in the education process, INFB offers seminars on a variety of topics in addition to Drainage School. Some of the topics include estate and succession planning, campaign management, candidate surfacing and mineral rights.
The event was sponsored by INFB, Indiana Agricultural Law Foundation, Association of Indiana Counties, Indiana Association of County Commissioners, County Surveyors Association of Indiana, Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts and Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program.
Continuing education credits were earned for attorneys and surveyors who attended.
