Project Overview
Women Outreaching Women is a collaboration of three Iowa groups with similar goals to help women connected to agriculture improve farm business skills, learn more about risk management, and explore other human resource risks. The groups will work together to offer three related conferences, each with its own focus: 1) Reality Outreach for Women (central Iowa), for women ages 40-60+, focuses on estate planning and proactive farm transitioning, 2) Local Food-Healthy Eating-Active Living (Decorah) targets women interested in local food system development and farm diversification, and 3) Overall Women (Iowa City/Cedar Rapids) addresses five risk areas relevant to rural women: production, marketing, financial, legal, and human. Working together, these groups will recruit statewide, promote networking opportunities, and leadership development. North Central Risk Management Education Funds will enable getting the best educators, market all conferences effectively, and do quality follow-up research.
