Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals.  On today's episode, we are back in the studio with Steve Hanson. We discuss: Shed trespassing is becoming more organized. Social media helped identify the trespasser quickly. Trail cameras are changing trespassing enforcement. Many landowners view sheds as personal property. CRP rates have softened in recent years. CSP funding appears stronger in the new Farm Bill. Habitat-focused CRP projects can benefit both parties. Water quality is becoming a bigger conservation focus. Forestry incentives may become more important nationally. Iowa land prices appear stable after major growth years. And so much more!
