Farm Bureau and Illinois Extension present Sowing Success: A Seminar for Women in Agriculture

Farming in the 21 st century can be a complex endeavor and more and more women are
taking an active role in the business. As women look toward the future, succession planning for their farm becomes increasingly important. Succession planning for farm operations is unlike any other business and can be challenging. Adams County Farm Bureau and University of Illinois Extension are partnering to provide a seminar focused on helping women with farm succession planning and navigating USDA FSA farm programs. University of Illinois Commercial Agriculture Specialist, Meagan Diss, will provide guidance, tips, and valuable resources to help plan for the future. USDA FSA staff will also provide an overview of farm programs. This free workshop will be held on Tuesday, March 26 from
10a to 12p at the Adams County Farm Bureau. Lunch will be provided by Adams County Farm Bureau.
