FARMLAND ASSESSMENT SEMINARS PLANNED
State Representative Dan Swanson (R-Alpha) has announced that he will be joining forces with our local Farm Bureau offices to host a series of Farmland Assessment Seminars throughout the area on September 2nd and 3rd
“As a farmer myself I am well aware of the impact that increased farmland assessments and their effect on property taxes can have on farmers,” Swanson said. “The purpose of these seminars is to help our local farmers get the facts they need to understand this system and what it means for them.”
There will be four meetings spread over two days.
- 1 p.m. Tuesday, September 2nd – Moline Public Library, 3210 41st Street Moline, IL 61265
- 3 p.m. Tuesday, September 2nd – Knox County Farm Bureau, 180 S. Soangetaha Road, Galesburg
- 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, September 3rd – Warren-Henderson Farm Bureau Office, 1000 N. Main Street, #1, Monmouth
- 11:00 a.m. Wednesday, September 3rd – Spoon River College Community Outreach Center, 2500 E. Jackson, Macomb
The presentations will be made by Brenda Matherly, Director of Local Government Affairs with the Illinois Farm Bureau and will give attendees a better understanding on how farmland assessments are calculated and the long-term impact of those values.
