UW – Madison Division of Extension offices in Adams, Green Lake, and Juneau Counties will be hosting a four part webinar series for absentee landowners. These sessions are meant for landowners who rent out land for farming. Soil is one of the most important assets of land, but it’s not always obvious how to work with a renter to protect it. In this series, presenters will help you better understand your soil, conservation practices, how to develop a good lease, and local resources available. Registration is required by June 25th.
All webinars will be held from 6:30-7:30pm.
