The first of 5 sessions on Agriculture. While being sponsored by the Dutchess County Agriculture Advisory Committee, the sessions is useful for a much wider audience.

The fist session is Wednesday, Feb 24.

The first session of the series is entitled Communicating Agriculture: How to Work with Your Assessor and Enhancing Landowner/Lessee Relationships. This session will take place on Wednesday, February 24th at 7pm and will include a live panel discussion with six agricultural stakeholders – two farmers, an assessor, landowner, and two land conservationists. The session discussion will include topics such as Agricultural Value Assessment, both from the perspective of the assessor and farmer/landowner; lease agreements, including securing a farmer on leased land; and opportunities to enhance farmland preservation. A question-and-answer session for audience members will follow the discussion.
