Women in Ag Day at the Minnesota State Capitol
March 25 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
This is a save the date for Monday, March 25, for the first Women In Ag Day at the Minnesota State Capitol. The goal is to tell stories and create awareness about women in agriculture. What are the successes and challenges of women in agriculture? Let’s tell our story. We ask you to save this date and share it with others. More information and details will come soon by email and on this website: z.umn.edu/WAGN
State Sen. Mary Kunesh and her colleagues on the Minnesota State Senate Agriculture, Broadband, and Rural Development Committee have invited women who are involved in farming, ranching and agricultural businesses and organizations to come to the State Capitol. The day will include a hearing with the Senate Ag Committee, time for you to meet with your legislator and a networking reception for you to meet leaders in the agricultural industry.
In preparation for this inaugural event, Kunesh and University of Minnesota Extension are seeking your input to understand the barriers, challenges, opportunities and success you face as women in agriculture. The responses to this survey will be used to create a report that will be shared with state legislators so they can better understand the constituents in their districts and across the state. The survey should only take 3-4 minutes to complete. Follow this link.
Please note: if you attended the Extension Women in Ag Network Conference on Feb. 6, this survey was on the table tents.
