March 6th program a success

On March 6th, TLC and the McHenry County Farm Bureau hosted a seminar for landowners in McHenry County with attorney George Covington, to help them understand the tax laws related to conservation easements.

About 40 landowners or their advisors attended the seminar. Attendees were enthusiastic about the program. The follow-up surveys showed that people found the information to be helpful and the speaker to be excellent.

Farm Bureau provided lunch after the program, and many people stayed for the meal and fellowship.

A note about the Farm Bureau facility on McConnell in Woodstock: they have high speed internet, a projector and large screen, plus a laptop computer which can be used to show power point programs or even to access websites live with the audience.

A big thank you to Dan Volkers, McHenry County farm Bureau Manager for being such a great host for the program. We are hoping to work together on another seminar in the summer to help explain the county's farmland preservation program.
