Hoosier farmers are asked to provide input on Indiana agricultural drainage laws. State Rep. Beau Baird (R-Greencastle) on the importance of drainage laws and how farmers can help.

Baird, co-chair of the drainage task force, says their focus is to review responsibilities between landowners and the state on drainage issues, and whether changes can be made to give farmers more control over addressing drainage concerns on their land.

Hoosiers can offer input by contacting Baird's office at h44@iga.in.gov.

The final drainage task force meeting is on Wednesday at the Statehouse in Indianapolis.

Members of the public are welcome to attend and testify at the meeting, which will also be livestreamed and archived online at iga.in.gov.

The task force's findings and any policy recommendations will be reported to the Indiana General Assembly, which could take further action.
