Due to COVID-19, the Shayla Bee Fund has decided to cancel the 2020 Black Tie Black Leather Affair scheduled for Aug. 22.
According to a news release from the organization, the decision to cancel was difficult. However, the Shayla Bee Fund is still operating business as usual and is anticipating this year to be the biggest year yet for new families.
The Shayla Bee Fund is actively working to refund event sponsorship and tickets that have been paid.
Land leasing meetings offered during August
Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach’s annual land leasing and value meetings for agriculture property owners and tenants will be held throughout August.
Each meeting will focus on current farmland value and lease rate trends, methods for determining fair ag rents for 2021 and farmland lease communication and legalities, including how to write and terminate a lease.
“These meetings are designed for ag property owners and tenants, so we focus greatly on land ownership and tenant information such as rental rates and land values,” said Gary Wright, Farm Business Management Specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. “We will also be discussing important considerations including conservation, water quality and cover crops which can help to maintain the land’s value and quality.”
Upcoming meeting dates and locations in this area include:
• Aug. 5, 9 a.m., Sheldon City Office Basement Room, Sheldon; Preregister to (712) 957-5045.
• Aug. 12, 9 a.m., Dickinson County Extension office, Spirit Lake; Preregister to (712) 336-3488.
• Aug. 19, 9 a.m., Clay County Fairgrounds 4-H Auditorium, Spencer; Preregister to (712) 262-2264.
There is a $20 per individual or $30 per couple preregistration fee for those who preregister at least two days prior to the meeting date. Individuals who register after the deadline can expect a $5 late fee.
According to Wright, proper social distancing and safety precautions will be taken for each in-person meeting. Individuals wishing to attend a meeting should call in and preregister so there will be adequate space and materials available.
Meetings are approximately 2-1/2 hours in length and all registrants will receive a leasing arrangement book and access to Extension’s research-based resources. For more information, contact Wright at (712) 223-1574 or gdwright@iastate.edu.
