Ford County K-State Research and Extension program, along with Extension programs in Meade and Clark counties, will host the Women in Ag Program, a four-part series of workshops aimed at helping women sharpen their farm financial management skills.
Whether it is on a large farm or a small family farm, the number of women making the decisions in farming operations in the U.S. is growing.
The sessions will all take place from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays, Jan. 15, Jan. 22, Jan. 29 and Feb. 5. Each session will build upon material from the previous session.
All meals and program materials will be covered by a $40 registration fee, and dinner will be served at each location.
According to the extension office, the training will be a combination of broadcasted keynote and local speakers and local K-State Research and Extension agents serving as hosts for the program and facilitating the hands-on activities and discussions.
Although the program is set to highlight women’s issues in agriculture, the sessions will be open to any participant, regardless of their sex.
