Polk Landowner Expo is November 10 near Fort Meade

The one-day program covers cost-share tools, conservation easements and working-land options. Registration now costs $10.

Agricultural landowners in Polk County can explore ways to support their operations and preserve working lands at the Polk Landowner Expo on Tuesday, November 10. The county lists the program from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 8757 McCoy Road, Fort Meade, FL 33841.

What the program covers

The event is intended for owners of both large and small agricultural properties. Presentations, panel discussions and interactive breakout sessions will address cost-share programs, conservation easements, mitigation banking and other tools for protecting working lands and agricultural legacies.

For a landowner, the practical value is the opportunity to ask agency professionals about available resources and hear from experienced owners. The calendar describes an educational event; it does not promise funding, approval for a particular project or eligibility for any specific conservation program.

Registration has moved into the paid period

The county says registration was free through November 3 and costs $10 after that date. As of our November 5 check, the free-registration period has ended. Space is limited, and the county directs attendees to the registration link in its official event listing. We have not confirmed remaining ticket availability, so check the current registration page before making travel plans.

Plan before you travel

Use the McCoy Road address for this event and allow for the full seven-hour listed program if you plan to attend all sessions. The county listing does not specify meals, a detailed session timetable or materials to bring. Check the organizer’s current registration information for those arrangements rather than assuming they are included. All times in this guide are Eastern.
