COVID Update - There has been many concerns expressed about COVID, and questions about whether this event will be available to attend online. Unfortunately, it is too late for continuing education credits (CE) to be approved by the state for online participation. This presentation will be video recorded, and published on www.MTLandSource.com at a later date.
For over 20 years, Clark Wheeler from Norman C Wheeler & Associates has put on an annual presentation of rural land values and trends. The event has always taken place at the first meeting of the year in January of the Southwest Montana Farm & Ranch Brokers in Bozeman, MT.
