Annie’s Project was offered again this year to empower women in agriculture by providing education and the opportunity to apply information on financial management, marketing, production, human resources and the legal field. Thirteen women attended the six-week program with eight presenters who discussed agriculture loans, identification of noxious weeds, generational differences, communication, accounting, organic production, livestock health, inter-generational transfer of property and USDA programs. The discussion-based program has given women the opportunity to develop supportive relationships and share knowledge with each other.
