Purdue Extension To Host Land Leasing Strategies Workshop Series
News Release
KOSCIUSKO COUNTY — Build your land management and leasing knowledge while networking with other women in agriculture at Purdue Extension’s upcoming workshop series for landowners and tenants.
The series will be held virtually and at various sites throughout Indiana, including Kosciusko County, from 5:30-8:30 p.m. on the following dates:
- Jan. 18
- Jan. 25
- Feb. 1
- Feb. 8
“The Power of Negotiation and Communication: Land Leasing Strategies for Midwestern Ag Women” is a three-state collaboration of extension women in agriculture programs at Kansas State University, Purdue University and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Sessions will be held simultaneously at multiple locations in Kansas, Indiana and Nebraska.
These workshops will help raise awareness of local land values and cash rental rates, along with the factors that influence them. Whether a landlord or a tenant, learn more about the importance of having a written lease, what should be included in it and how to ensure it is equitable for both parties.
Participants will hear from keynote speakers streamed live to dozens of workshop sites in all three states. Each site will also host local speakers and hands-on activities. Attendees will have the chance to ask questions of local extension experts while learning negotiating strategies and best practices to improve the landlord-tenant relationship.
The workshop costs $50 per person and participants should plan to attend each session. A virtual option is available for those unable to attend a workshop site, although in-person attendance is highly encouraged to better network with other attendees and interact with speakers. Registration is required by Jan. 13. The Kosciusko County host site will be located at the Purdue Extension Office, 202 W. Main St., Warsaw.
