OMAHA, NEBRASKA - Women who share in the ownership of farmland, have inherited land, or lease their land to tenant farmers are invited to ‘Caring for Our Land: Conservation Conversations’ on Wednesday, Aug. 23, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The event, hosted by the Center for Rural Affairs and the Women, Food, and Agricultural Network, will include a light lunch, networking, and sharing. The conversation will be held at Metro Community College, Fort Dodge Campus, 5370 North 30th St., Omaha.
“Much has changed in how we think about and manage the land,” Starkweather said. “Conservation practices have been modified or replaced with more holistic and nurturing options that improve and sustain the soil and other natural resources on a single farm, while also positively impacting the community and entire watershed.”
The conversation will include the benefits of conservation. Women from agricultural and conservation agencies will join in the discussion.
The cost is $10 per person. Attendance is limited.
The event is sponsored by U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service.
