Do you work with agricultural lands? - A virtual workshop for realtors

Are you a realtor working in a rural area? This presentation will provide you with resources to help evaluate farms and vacant land that you may be listing. Our presenter is Jennifer Fimbel, a Senior Resource Educator for Agriculture with Duchess County Cornell Cooperative Extension Educator.

What are the differences between agricultural districts and agricultural zoning
Why knowing about local zoning is important
Matching suitable properties for prospective buyers
Section 310 of Article 25 AA NYS Agricultural Districts Law concerning disclosure
