NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — This course is a discussion-based workshop bringing women together to learn from experts in production, financial management, human resources, marketing and the legal field. There’s plenty of time for questions, sharing, reacting and connecting with your presenters and fellow participants.
It’s a relaxed, fun and dynamic way to learn, grow and meet other farm and ranch women. Previous attendees have said:
