Taxes can be returned to “ag” rates if the property is made available for ecological research.

Shane Kiefer
Blog

From the Plateau Land & Wildlife Management Team, There’s no doubt about it, spring is a time to get things done. While other seasons are ripe with reasons to put things off, spring signifies a clean, fresh start.
