Project Overview
Women are a critical part of farming success through active participation in farm management decisions related to all aspects of the farm, family, and rural living. The seventh annual Women In Blue Jeans Conference, January 2009, will provide a learning environment comfortable to women, and provide diverse topics to attract and meet the educational agricultural risk managemet needs of 255 women.
Topics for the conference are determined by past attendees, focus groups and conference exhibitors and collaborators through input to the 15-20 member conference steering committee that provides leadership for the conference planning and completion.
Educational topics that will be presented include: estate and financial planning, crop insurance, grain marketing, tax tips, wellness, and leisure and hobby sessions.
At the end of 2009, 150 women attending the January 2009 conference will be able to identify specific benefits to their farm´s risk management from attending the conference.
