Nebraska Extension in partnership with USDA Farm Service Agency and USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service is offering the Inaugural Annie’s Inspired Program “North Central Nebraska Women in Ag.”  This program has been developed for female agriculture landowners, farmers, ranchers and industry professionals looking to connect with other women in agriculture.  The theme for the 2019 North Central Women in Ag is “Stronger Together.”

Other presentations include:

• Farm Service Agency Disaster Programs by Kay Hand, county executive director at the Valentine FSA office;
• Farm Loan Program Overview by Deb Witte, FSA farm loan manager, and
• Natural Resource Conservation Service Programs by Christine Lousias, NRCS district conservationist.
