Experience a conference designed for women with a vested interest in a farm or ranch operation, whether they are owners, partners or beginners just starting in agriculture. Women Managing the Farm focuses on the active roles women play in all aspects of financial and risk management while also addressing the unique dynamics of the agricultural operation and the household. Topics include: production, management, finances, legal, relationships and health.
The 2016 Women Managing the Farm Conference takes place February 4-5 in Manhattan, Kansas. This year’s theme is Her AgriCULTURE Story: Wisdom, Stewardship, Heritage, with keynote speakers Bonnie Lynn-Sherow, associate professor of history, Kansas State University; Amy H.
