Wednesday, April 23 – Friday, April 25 – Saving America’s Working Lands National Conference

SAVING AMERICA’S WORKING LANDS, a national conference hosted by American Farmland Trust, focuses on the threatened and irreplaceable land that America relies upon to grow  food, fiber, and fuel, provide critical environmental benefits, and sustain rural communities and agricultural economies. Whether you are new to the world of farmland retention and protection or a seasoned veteran, there is programing for you. Attend to learn about strategies to combat conversion or ways to make the case for working lands conservation.  Expand your knowledge of how state conservation and beginning farmer and rancher tax credits are being used to incentivize land transfers or how sources of capital can be stacked to improve access to land for next generation producers.  The event will take place April 23 – 25 at the Fairmont-Dallas Hotel.
