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.”
