Ag law program set for March 15
Last March, participants had a great time learning about legal issues related to land leasing, hunting rights and fence law during our Legal Side of Agriculture program. Therefore, we have invited Roger McEowen, professor of agriculture law and taxation at Washburn University School of Law, back to Putnam County to share more of his knowledge of ag law issues.
This year, McEowen will be talking about:
Structuring the farm business from to minimize self-employment and income tax;
Fences, boundaries and common farm lease issues;
Wills, trusts and asset ownership;
And more.
McEowen conducts seminars annually across the United States for farmers, agricultural business professionals, lawyers and other tax professionals. He also conducts two radio programs each airing twice monthly. In addition, his two-minute radio program, The Agricultural Law and Tax Report, is heard daily by more than two million listeners on farm radio stations from New York to California, as well as SiriusXM 147. McEowen can also be seen as a weekly guest on RFD-TV, where he discusses various agricultural law and tax topics.
The Legal Side of Agriculture program will be held on March 15 from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. at Ivy Tech Community College in Greencastle.
