Legal considerations for putting a plan in place. Each session includes a keynote speaker simulcast to all locations, hands-on activities, and opportunities for questions. Participants will also enjoy a meal during each session.
Jessica Groskopf, director of the Nebraska Women in Agriculture program, emphasized the importance of planning ahead. “Succession planning ensures a smooth transition for the next generation in agriculture. These workshops provide best practices and strategies that women can bring back to their farms or ranches,” she said.
The workshops also aim to strengthen rural networks, enabling women to connect, share knowledge, and reduce isolation often felt in agricultural communities. Groskopf noted, “Building trust and connections among rural women is essential for mutual support and collaboration.”
