Arkansas Land and Farm Development Corp. will sponsor a community development workshop Aug. 23 beginning at 10 a.m. at the S.J. Parker 1890 Extension Building at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.
Entitled “Conservation Easement is Money in The Bank,” the program will feature discussions about current and future economic benefits obtainable from land ownership and farming activities. ALFDC and the USDA/National Resource Conservation Service Agency will explain how a farmer’s land can provide annual financial returns.
Topics include:
• How conservation programs can increase the value of land
• How USDA Conservation Easement can provide additional income and protect natural resources.
• GAP/GHP certification for specialty crop (vegetable) production and marketing, energy conservation and production, opportunities for beginning farmers and affordable housing.
