The 2023 conference will tackle topics ranging from finances and farm transition to technical equipment knowledge, farm safety, mental health and stress and personal organization. Options on the schedule include a combine college at Greenvalley Equipment and sessions on building credit score. The event’s tour of Vanderveen Greenhouse, however, is full, according to the event’s website.
“Farm women, business partners who work in agriculture, rural women who want to celebrate the rural life we enjoy, all are welcome,” organizers have said.
Registration is available on the conference’s website at mfwc.ca.
