(Indianapolis) – July 26, 2023 – Registration is now open for Indiana Farm Bureau’s annual Drainage School, which promotes 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. Farmers, public officials, agency personnel, attorneys and the general public are encouraged to attend. The seminar will take place Wednesday, Aug. 30 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

In-person attendance, which includes lunch, is $50 per INFB member and $100 per non-member. Virtual attendance costs $25 per individual.

Attendees will gain a greater knowledge of drainage law and dispute resolution. Speakers also will share relevant case studies and actionable steps for landowners and those working with landowners.

“At INFB, we are dedicated to providing education and resources to our members, as well as anyone else who is interested in expanding their knowledge of agriculture,” said INFB President Randy Kron. “We hope attendees walk away more informed about the laws affecting drainage and will feel better equipped to make decisions on their farms.” 

Speakers represent a variety of industries including agriculture, local and state government and law. Topics consist of a drainage task force update, flood control, watershed development, permits, recent updates on the Waters of the United States rule and more.

Registration for the event is required. Attendees may register at www.infb.org/drainage through Aug. 24 for in-person attendance and through Aug. 28 for virtual attendance.
