Organizers of the annual Women Managing the Farm conference announced Dec. 4 that the 2021 event will be held virtually from Feb. 10-12.
Organizers said the virtual format is like many other events that have been altered by the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite that, the event will continue to offer a supportive setting for women to develop the skills, resources and knowledge needed for success in the competitive agricultural industry.
Women Managing the Farm has been held each year since 2005, attracting female farmers, rural business leaders and landowners. About 300 women attended the most recent in-person conference in early 2020.
