blog lessons

Maybe we should have the girls give everyone a lesson on blogging at conference? Janelle, Alison & Rownae will you give us all a quick lesson at conference? Kim

2007 Conference

I just wanted to let everyone know that Kim is working fast and furious with her plans for conference this spring. We now have a registration form and agenda posted on our website. Follow this link http://www.sdaao.org/website/2007_conference.htm and you will find it. GOOD JOB KIM!!! ;) Rownea

IAAO Journal Article

Just wondering how many of you have read the article in the IAAO Journal, Vol 3, Number 3, 2006, titled "A Spatial Evaluation of Agricultural Property Tax Inequity Associated with Productivity-Based Assessments." This is well worth reading especially since we are just winding down on a session with huge emphasis on a bill regarding productivity.
How many of you remember the 1999 and beyond pilot study for productivity valuation of ag land modeled after North Dakota? Drag out your old study and compare that with what has been stated in this article. Very, very interesting! Shirley

congratulations!!

Congratulations girls - it is working and I think it is a wonderful idea! Thanks to all who had the great idea!!! It will work great to keep in touch with thoughts and ideas and assistance with statewide issues we all are interested in. Hat off to you!! Joyce
