LYONS, NEBRASKA – Nebraska beginning farmers and ranchers are invited to attend free, virtual workshops designed to explore different agricultural enterprises, hosted by the Center for Rural Affairs.

“Explore Farming” will take place on Thursdays, Oct. 22 and 29, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. CT, via online video conference. A second virtual series will occur on Nov. 12 and 19 at the same time. Each session will be offered in Spanish.

“If you see yourself farming, but aren't sure where to start, these sessions will help you," said Lucia Schulz, Center for Rural Affairs’ project assistant. “Throughout the workshops, we will identify your farming strengths and weaknesses and prepare you to make decisions with those in mind.”

The October session will be instructed by Schulz. Registration is required by Oct. 21. To sign up, email lucias@cfra.org or call 402.380.7006.
