South Dakota State University Extension will offer additional Whole Farm Planning workshops on Nov. 12 and 19, 2025, in Winner.
Whole Farm Planning is a new program designed to provide a holistic look at what farm and ranch families need, with a curriculum that addresses child care, health care and health insurance needs for farm and ranch families.
The next workshop, “Integrating Child Care into Your Whole Farm Plan”, is on Nov. 12; “Integrating Health Care and Health Insurance into Your Whole Farm Plan” is on Nov. 19. Both workshops are from 5:30 to 8 p.m. CST at the SDSU Extension Winner Regional Center. Registration is $20 per person or $50 per family, and will include a meal and child care. To register, visit the SDSU Extension Events page and search “whole farm”.
The child care workshop is an interactive program that will help participants learn practical tips to design their farm for family well-being, integrate child care into farm risk management and decide how to apply child care costs into farm and/or household budgets.
