(Indianapolis) – July 17, 2024 – Registration is 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. The seminar will take place Wednesday, Aug. 28 from 9 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.

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 knowledge of wetlands, water supply issues and drainage common law. 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.

“Drainage school provides a variety of audiences the opportunity to learn more about the laws impacting drainage and be more informed to make critical decisions on their farm,” said INFB President Randy Kron. “Additional topics this year, such as water supply issues, greatly impact Hoosier farmers as we focus on quality and quantity of water and navigate water policy to protect agriculture and our rural communities.”

Registration for the event is required. Attendees may register at www.infb.org/drainage through Aug. 22 for in-person attendance and through Aug. 26 for virtual attendance. Continuing education credits for attorneys and surveyors are being sought.
