Women Adding Value to Agriculture -- Welcome/home

Gather with other rural women to network and learn how to add value to agriculture. Choose workshop sessions in farm marketing, value- added agriculture, and personal enrichment and be inspired by special speakers.

The conference begins with a noon luncheon on Friday, February 8 and concludes the next day at 1 p.m. Twenty-two break-out sessions will be offered focusing on topics related to value-added agriculture, "on the farm," and personal development. Casual conversation and relaxation will follow the Friday evening dinner.

Come for both days, or register for a single day.
Invite your neighbors, your co-workers, and your relatives to join you. We look forward to seeing you in Decorah.
