Women Caring for the Land Landowner-Beginning Farmer Meeting

Date: Thursday, March 8th, 2012

Start: 8:30 am End: 2:00 pm

Location: Rickwell City, Iowa

Contact: Lynn Heuss, WFAN Program Coordinator, 515.201.9405, lynn@wfan.org

Women landowners are invited to meet with beginning farmers (both men and women) who are looking for land to lease or purchase. These meetings are intended to let both groups learn from one another what kinds of issues concern them, and how to communicate with one another about transition. A farm transition expert will be present to help answer questions. Morning discussion, lunch, afternoon networking, wrap up. These meetings are offered in conjunction with Practical Farmers of Iowa, with funding from a USDA Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development grant.
