2020 WOMEN IN AGRICULTURE CONFERENCE-Saturday, January 25 "HEALTHY
FARMS" is the theme for the eighth annual WOMEN IN AGRICULTURE
CONFERENCE. Experience an engaging, interactive day full of
inspiration, learning and networking with other WOMEN FARMERS. This is
a one-day event held simultaneously at sites throughout Washington,
Alaska, Idaho, Montana and Oregon. The day begins with learning how to
cultivate your personal resiliency to handle all the ups and downs as
a woman farmer. Its no secret that things can be tough for farmers,
whether it is things we can control or issues we try to control when
we cant. The stress in farming has always existed, but the levels can
soar during times of high costs and low returns. Positive psychology
using our personal strengths to focus on intentional well-being and to
thrive during every challenge and change is a skill you will practice
and learn. The day also includes a panel of local WOMEN FARMERS. They
will talk about the different ways they balance their lives and how
they celebrate the job of doing what they love the most! Participants
will have the opportunity to meet farmers from their area, compare
jobs, ask and answer questions and build a community network. It will
be a full day of laughing, learning and networking! The final
take-away message with the cap note speaker will be all about
mindfulness. We will learn how to use our minds to change our brains
for the good. We all want to be calm, contented and centered. We will
learn how to cultivate a mindful presence and seed positivity into
each day. You will leave this CONFERENCE WITH NEW FRIENDS, new ways to
farm and new strengths to do what we love to do every day! Whether you
have been farming for several years, are a new or aspiring farmer or
employed on a farm or ranch, our CONFERENCE HAS SOMETHING FOR YOU. If
you are a supporting spouse, student, intern or own an
AGRICULTURE-related business, make plans to attend this event. There
