The goals of the series are to strengthen agronomic skills for women, resulting in better decision-making and understanding of inputs for crop production, as well as increased knowledge of various conservation practices and confidence in communication with their spouse, farming partner, ag retailer or tenant.
"We plan to cover topics on crop growth and development, pest management principles, scouting techniques, cover crops and water quality, and additional practices and topics as they come up this spring and summer, said Meaghan Anderson, field agronomist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. "The group really leads the topic selection and discussion."
The series is designed to be hands-on and conducted in the field to see real-time conditions. Each session will be approximately two hours long and interested women do not need to commit for all three sessions to attend.
