The 2012 Women in Agriculture Educators National Conference will bring together private and public sector educators, crop insurance agents, lenders, and other agricultural professionals who are engaged in outreach education, to share ongoing and emerging successful risk management education efforts directed toward women who are involved in production agriculture. Conference participants will learn about educational efforts that assist women producers and their families to effectively manage financial, production, marketing, legal and human resource risks associated with their agribusinesses.

The goal of this conference is to broaden risk management educational
programming for women in agriculture, to encourage new programming efforts,
and to strengthen existing programs.

A pre-conference seminar will be held on Tuesday afternoon, March 27, 2012. The seminar, entitled Risk Management: Farmers as Food System Experts, will focus on Agri-tourism and Direct Marketing.
