Farmland is one of our area’s most precious natural resources, providing the growth medium and opportunity for dozens of different food items and income for thousands of people involved in agriculture. Owning farmland provides opportunities for families to have income, recreation, and food production. Ownership also requires active management, to various extents depending on goals and situations.
Langlade County Land Conservation and UW-Madison, Division of Extension, are sponsoring a free workshop on Friday, April 10 specifically designed to help farmland, and forestland, owners and farms achieve their desired land management and economic goals. The workshop will be held in the basement meeting rooms of the Langlade County Resource Center located at 837 Clermont St., Antigo. Four pairs of topics will be on the docket, beginning at 9 a.m. and concluding by 12:30 p.m.
Attendees will be able to hear directly from personnel who manage programs which offer assistance to landowners for various purposes, as well as better understand and gather resources that will assist in management decision-making within many different topics. Specific topics of discussion include:
+ Identification and management of terrestrial invasive species;
+ The farmland preservation program and how to apply for its tax credits;
+ Nutrient management: What it is and how it benefits your land;
+ Managed Forest Law and how forest management can help you achieve your goals;
+ Tax Incentives you may be missing;
+ U.S. Dept. of Agriculture programs available to help you meet conservation and wildlife management goals;
+ Farmland rental realities – values, contracts, and WI legal tidbits;
Attendance is free and registration is not required to attend. It is recommended that multiple family members attend, if possible, as two topics will be discussed each time period. Registration begins at 9 a.m., with first sessions starting at 9:15. All events are taking place in the basement of the Resource Center.
