Women in Ag Network

The Women in Ag Network is a collaboration between the University of Minnesota Extension and Minnesota’s Farm Service Agency. It provides educational opportunities and events that enhance women’s leadership, management and production skills in agriculture.

Our goal is to connect individuals to relevant, research-based education and to each other. All are welcome.

Yearly events include the Women in Ag Conference, a summer tour, and a winter workshop.

You can stay connected with us on our Facebook page, through the Agricultural Business Management News, and by signing up for email alerts below.

For more information, contact Susanne Hinrichs, Extension educator, at [email protected]  or 218-828-2274.
