Women Managing Farmland Forums Are Coming to Iowa

By Lisa Scarbrough and Madeline Schultz

Women involved in agriculture are invited to attend one of four Women Managing Farmland Forums happening across Iowa this fall. These in-person events are open to all women landowners, farmers and agricultural decision-makers who want to build knowledge, share experiences and connect with others who care about the land.

Each forum features a full day of expert-led sessions on farmland leasing, conservation practices and farm transition planning, along with time for meaningful conversations and networking.

“These forums provide a welcoming and informative space for women to learn more about managing farmland and shaping its future,” said Madeline Schultz, program manager for Women in Ag with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. “It’s also a great opportunity to connect with others who share your goals and challenges.”

Join Jill Brokaw, a third-generation pig farmer, as she dives into the vital role of the Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Plan in preparing the U.S. pork industry for potential foreign animal disease outbreaks. This video is an essential watch for pork producers who are looking to safeguard their operations against the threats of diseases like foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever, and African swine fever. Why Should Pork Producers Care? An outbreak of foreign animal diseases in the U.S. could lead to severe restrictions and potentially result in industry-wide financial losses estimated between $15 to $100 billion. The SPS Plan is a collective effort to prevent such catastrophic outcomes by enhancing biosecurity, ensuring animal traceability, and promoting effective disease monitoring.
