TEXAS <strong>LAND</strong> BROKERS NETWORK<br />
<strong>2015</strong> will have its challenges, just like every year in the farm, ranch and land brokerage business. The dynamic<br />
impacts to our industry come from every direction, whether oil, water, government policy, marketing or industry<br />
trends. TLBN is committed to providing the best networking, education and marketing opportunities we can<br />
provide to our professional members and our affiliates.<br />
There have been a a flood of new issues to affect our industry, which we are seeking to stay in front of with good factual<br />
knowledge provided by leading experts. For example, much of of market is or will be affected by the recent devaluation of crude oil<br />
and we excited to hear from Tony Pelletier with Alamo Resources provided us with a realistic expectation of the local micro economies<br />
moving forward. Such expertise provided to our members provides for a better representation of our clientele.<br />
As to what is to come in our upcoming meetings, TLBN is also organizing a lenders forum to try to inform the group of the coming<br />
changes in rural lending imposed by Dodd-Frank. Additionally, we will soon be addressing the Federal arm of eminent domain the<br />
processes, and devaluations we can expect from the High Speed Rail project.<br />
We extend an invitation to ALL involved in the land business to join us the 2nd Tuesday of each month and enjoy our exceptional<br />
luncheons. If you would like to receive notices of our meetings and be placed on our mailing list, please email Chris@IKnowRanches.<br />
com, and we will do so. - TYLER JACOBS, PRESIDENT<br />
TEXAS ALLIANCE OF <strong>LAND</strong> BROKERS<br />
We had a great start to the New Year with over 80 members and guests attending our lunch meeting<br />
in Fredericksburg. Our speaker provided useful information to our members regarding Pond and Lake<br />
management. We had quite a few new members present and look forward to their input and networking.<br />
Thanks to Christy Payne, National Account Manager with Farm and Ranch Publishing for coming down from<br />
Dallas for our meeting. It was good to see long time member Mike Barbour with Cross Bar Land Company<br />
who came in from Brady for the meeting. Long time member Jan Hutchinson and her daughter were also<br />
present. Good to see so many long time members attending once again and reconnecting with everyone. We were saddened<br />
to hear of the passing of long time member/director Jacob Casanova and pass along our sincere condolences to his family and<br />
friends.<br />
