If stewardship is among your priorities for your homestead, check out a conference June 10 and 11 in Denver. Changing Lands, Changing Hands: A National Conference on Farm and Ranch Access, Succession, Tenure and Stewardship, sponsored by the FarmLasts Project, focuses on how land is acquired, stewarded and passed on, and how that will shape the future of U.S. agriculture. This is the first national conference to address these critically important issues.
