The DeKalb and Daviess County Farm Service Agencies, Natural Resources Conservation Services, Soil & Water Conservation Districts, and University of Missouri Extension have joined together to host the fourth annual Women in Agriculture Event. This year’s event has been scheduled for Thursday, September 20, at the June Conley building in Maysville.
The mission of Women in Ag is to promote pride and interest in agriculture. The goal is to provide information and sources of support, in a fun and social setting, which will enrich the personal and professional lives of women involved in the many facets of agriculture.
Last year’s event was a tremendous success, according to organizers of the event, with nearly 250 attendees enjoying an evening of speakers, vendors, learning and fellowship.
The same attendance is expected for “Where Tradition & Technology Thrive” themed event this year. While DeKalb and Daviess Counties are hosting the event, it is open to participants from near and far. Last year the event drew in ladies from 15 counties and two states.
If you would like to exclusively sponsor an item such as the keynote speaker, tent, building, or meal, please contact the event organizers and they will proceed accordingly.
