(Indianapolis) – July 22, 2026 – Registration is open for Indiana Farm Bureau’s annual Drainage School, which provides an understanding of the laws and regulations impacting drainage decisions in Indiana.
The workshop will be presented both virtually and in person at INFB headquarters in Indianapolis. The program will take place Wednesday, Aug. 26 from 9 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. ET.
In-person attendance, which includes lunch, is $50 per INFB member and $100 per non-member. Virtual attendance costs $25 per individual.
Farmers, public officials, agency personnel, attorneys and the general public are encouraged to attend. Attendees will gain a greater understanding of dispute resolution and the laws impacting drainage decisions in Indiana.
There will also be regulation updates on Waters of the United States (WOTUS), developments on the statewide water management plan from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR), tax assessment information related to drainage and more. Speakers -- who represent a variety of industries including agriculture, local and state government and law -- will share relevant case studies and actionable steps for landowners and those working with landowners.
“As we continue to navigate water quantity and quality policy in Indiana, it’s important to consider how we can protect agriculture and rural communities,” said INFB President Randy Kron. “We hope attendees leave with a better understanding of the laws and regulations related to drainage in Indiana, so they can be better informed to make decisions on their farms.”
Registration for the event is required. Attendees may register at www.infb.org/events through Aug. 19 for in-person attendance and through Aug. 22 for virtual attendance. Continuing education credits for attorneys and surveyors are being sought.
