State Representatives Dan Swanson (R-Alpha), Norine Hammond (R-Macomb) and Travis Weaver (R-Peoria) will host a series of farmland assessment seminars around the area September 2 and 3.
“These meetings will help local residents better understand the farmland assessment process and how to go about challenging the assessment of your land if you feel something is incorrect,” Swanson said.
The presentations will be conducted by Brenda Matherly, Director of Local Government for the Illinois Farm Bureau and will be hosted by the legislators in cooperation with local county farm bureaus. In all, there will be four events over two days, all of which are free and open to the public. The presentation will be the same at each location.
Tuesday September 2, 1 p.m., Moline Public Library, 3210 41st Street, Moline
Tuesday September 2, 3 p.m., Knox County Farm Bureau, 180 S. Soangetaha Road, Galesburg
Wednesday September 3, 8:30 a.m., Warren-Henderson Farm Bureau Office, 1000 N. Main Street #1, Monmouth
