NORTH LITTLE ROCK — Farmers, ranchers, landowners and others from across the state will gather March 14-15 at the Wyndham Riverfront in North Little Rock for the Arkansas Women in Agricultur­e Conference. Registrati­on for attendees and vendors is available at arwomenina­g.org.

Barrel racer and inspiratio­nal speaker, Amberley Snyder will join us for the keynote address during lunch on Wednesday, March 15. Amberley, who fought her way back from tragedy, is inspiring thousands across America by sharing her story and competing in rodeos in the western United States. Her challenges have refined rather than defined her. Former Annie’s project workshop attendees will share their stories during Tuesday’s keynote luncheon address.

“The conference is a great way of learning new farm tools and management techniques along with networking and building valuable relationsh­ips with other landowners, farmers and ranchers throughout the state,” said Monica Paskewitz, Conference Chair, Arkansas Women in Ag.

Three tracts of sessions will be offered this year. Conference sessions include topics such as: Business Organizati­on Options, Canning 101, Apps for Farming, Landowner Liability, Estate Planning, How to Survive Low Cattle Prices, and Marketing

Update.

In addition to the conference sessions, vendors will be on hand to provide valuable educationa­l informatio­n to attendees as well as offering some shopping opportunit­ies.
