When farmland is managed with best practices, you can protect and rebuild the soils that your investment relies on, improve drinking water quality for local communities, fight climate change, and help wildlife.
Farmland owners are encouraged to join the Izaak Walton League of America and University of Illinois Extension for an event in your area to learn about best practices to protect our natural resources, how to talk about conservation with your tenant farmer, and connect with other landowners. These introductory events will be followed by a series of virtual webinars on additional topics.Register and learn more:&nbsp;<a href="https://iwla.org/landownerconnect/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Farmland Owner Conservation Connections 2026 - Izaak Walton League of America</a>
