AWomen involved in agriculture are invited to attend one of four Women Managing Farmland Forums happening across Iowa this fall. These in-person events are open to all women landowners, farmers and agricultural decision-makers who want to build knowledge, share experiences and connect with others who care about the land.

Each forum features a full day of expert-led sessions on farmland leasing, conservation practices and farm transition planning, along with time for meaningful conversations and networking.

¢â‚¬Å“These forums provide a welcoming and informative space for women to learn more about managing farmland and shaping its future, ¢â‚¬ � said Madeline Schultz, program manager for Women in Ag with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. ¢â‚¬Å“It ¢â‚¬â„¢s also a great opportunity to connect with others who share your goals and challenges. ¢â‚¬ �
