Women landowners, farmers and ag retailers will have the opportunity to meet again this fall and winter to learn more about agronomy and related agricultural topics through distance-learning sessions of Agronomy in the Field.
Agronomy in the Field for women is in its fifth year and has been offered at several locations across the state. The goals of Agronomy in the Field are to strengthen agronomic skills for women that allow for better decision-making, provide a better understanding of inputs for crop production, see and understand different conservation practices and increase confidence in communication with their spouse, farming partner, ag retailer or tenant.
Programs are hosted by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach field agronomists Angie Rieck-Hinz, Meaghan Anderson and Rebecca Vittetoe, with help from guest speakers on a variety of important topics.
Distance-learning sessions of Agronomy in the Field will be offered monthly from November through April. Sessions will start at 6 p.m. and will typically last until 7:30 p.m. These sessions will be provided through a web-conferencing program, so women can join online from the comfort of their own home

All sessions will be recorded so women can access them at a time convenient for them if they can’t join the live sessions.

Any interested women landowners, farmers and service providers who would like to participate in upcoming sessions should contact Rieck-Hinz, at 515-231-2830 or [email protected]; Anderson, at 319-331-0058 or [email protected]; or Vittetoe, at 319-653-4811 or [email protected], so access can be provided for web-conferencing and resource materials. There is no cost to participate in these sessions.

Participants are enouraged to join the page at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/121747958367541/ or to sign up for the newsletter at: http://eepurl.com/dKudtI
