National speakers Rita Emmett and Lyn Garling will be broadcast over high speed internet connections to all conference sites, and each location will connect with other women farmers to share experiences, knowledge and resources.
Networking opportunities will be the best!
Women face unique challenges in growing viable businesses in farming and ranching.
They also learn differently than men and like to connect with other women farmers in sharing experiences, knowledge and resources. Keynote speakers will be broadcast across the state to a site in the counties listed above; and local presenters will reflect the needs of those regions. Even though the name indicates Women in Agriculture, all agricultural producers are welcome to attend.
