“Missouri continues to have a very complicated fence law, in large part due to the fact that two separate laws cover the state depending on the county that your land is in,” according to Joe Koenen, Regional Agriculture Business Specialist with University Outreach and Extension who will be presenting the program that night.
“Another problem is that both laws are subject to interpretation and can be a little different, depending on the county you’re in,” said Joe. A comparison of both laws will be given at this program. Joe has been presenting programs on the fence law for over 15 years throughout the state, including via ITV. Landowners need to be aware of what the current law is in their county and this meeting will help them better understand their rights and responsibilities.
Interactive Television, or ITV as it’s more commonly known, allows two-way communication between different sites so that questions can be asked of the presenter and both the presenter and audience can see each other. It allows the presenter to talk to several people in a wide area without traveling to each location.
This program is offered as part of the University Outreach and Extension Week, May 18-24. This year’s theme is “Communicating Value, Making Connections.”
