BROOKINGS, S.D. — SDSU Extension is hosting its next Annie’s Project in Aberdeen beginning June 19, 2017.
“If you’re a woman involved in the agriculture industry, then Annie’s Project may be the program for you,” said Shannon Sand, SDSU Extension Livestock Business Management Field Specialist. “Annie’s Project was designed to empower women by providing detailed farm/ranch management information and build networks between women.”
Have you ever asked a farm/ranch management question and not understood the answer? Have you ever signed papers at the bank or FSA and not really understood what they were for? Have you been thinking about if you have enough insurance or an estate plan? Have you wished you knew more about marketing your cattle or crops?
If you answered “yes” to any one of these questions then you are a perfect candidate for Annie’s Project.
Over a six-week period women will learn how to develop financial records, learn key communication skills, ask questions about retirement and estate planning, expand marketing knowledge – all while having fun in a supportive learning environment.
