Calling all Wisconsin women in agriculture! The Eastern Wisconsin Extension Women in Agriculture Program is returning on Thursday, April 4th, for a day of learning, networking, and empowerment.
The event, titled VITAL-Valuably Informed Thriving Agriculture Leader, will be held at the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center near Manitowoc, a state-of-the-art facility showcasing sustainable farming practices (7001 Gass Lake Road).
Designed to support women in agricultural roles, the program offers valuable resources and creates a network of peers facing similar challenges. The agenda is packed with informative sessions, from financial decision-making and bovine health to artificial intelligence applications in dairy farming.
Financial expert Corey Geiger from CoBank will discuss the impact of milk production on farm income, while a panel of experienced dairywomen (Katie Grinstead, Katy Katzman, and Katy Schultz) will share their insights on employee empowerment strategies. Dr. Lindley Reilly, DVM, will also provide a session on navigating zoonotic risks and enhancing farm safety.
This "day away from the farm is a great opportunity to connect with like-minded women and gain valuable knowledge. The registration fee is $30 per person before March 28th and increases to $35 after that. The fee includes meals, breaks, and program materials.
