Women in Agriculture

Mark your calendar and join us for inspiration, knowledge and networking on Saturday, February 21, 2015 for the 4th Annual Women in Agriculture Conference. This year's conference will be held in multiple locations across Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Alaska - on the same day! This multiple site conference format brings the best of national and local speakers to easily accessible locations. Conference director, Margaret Viebrock: "We have been working with women in agriculture for 10 years. When we first started out, it was a state wide conference in the state of Washington. Women told us that it was too far to travel, they couldn't do an overnight, etc. Through the process of changing our format, we took programs to where they were at. The last several years we have brought our keynote speaker in via teleconferencing and we have set up sites in three states. What do women in agriculture learn? The whole reason behind the women in agriculture conference is to prepare women and inspire them to showcase their farm. They get marketing skills, a spot to describe their business and also to learn where they want to be in five years with their business. If you are, or want to be involved in any aspect of farming, this conference and networking will be worth your time. Last year we had nearly 600

women at 27 locations - be one of the women in agriculture who attends this year! Successful women farmers will inspire you with the "best ideas" to showcase your farm.?
