DeWitt County Farm Bureau Providing Information on Wind Farms To Area Landowners

Wind energy and wind farms are among the hot topics locally and a local entity is providing landowners with information they might need very soon.
 
It is a possibility a wind farm could come to DeWitt County and the DeWitt County Farm Bureau is providing their member landowners with information to make a decision on if that is something they'd like on their properties.
 
DeWitt County Farm Bureau Manager Janel Baum-Thomas says they are focused on landowner rights as the Farm Bureau has not taken a position on this issue yet.
 
 
According to Baum-Thomas, you'll want to make sure any future agreements cover an entire property and how the removal of those wind towers would be covered if it ever came to that.
 
 
Finally, the Farm Bureau is discussing ag impact mitigation returns. She says this is a requirement for developers in Illinois.
 
 
Members of the DeWitt County Farm Bureau were presented with information earlier this month. Anyone can join the Farm Bureau and will be kept up on the latest happenings. There are different levels of membership within the Farm Bureau. To learn more, contact Baum-Thomas at 217-935-2126 or visit facebook.com/dewittcountyfarmbureau.
