Have you ever asked a farm/ranch management question and not understood the answer?

Have you ever signed papers at the bank or the Farm Service Agency and not really understood what they were for?

Have you been thinking about if you have enough insurance or an estate plan?

Have you wished you knew more about marketing your cattle or crops?

"If you answered ‘yes’ to any one of these questions then you are a perfect candidate for Annie's Project," says Robin Salverson, South Dakota State University Extension cow-calf field specialist.

SDSU Extension’s Annie's Project for Women in Agriculture begins Jan. 22 in Florence, S.D.

Annie's Project is designed to empower women by providing detailed farm/ranch management information and build networks between women.

Over a six-week period, participants will learn how to develop financial records, learn key communication skills, ask questions about retirement and estate planning, expand marketing knowledge — all while having fun in a supportive learning environment.

Classes meet once a week in Florence at the community center. Sessions will be held on Jan. 22 and 29, and on Feb. 5, 12, 19 and 26. Each session will run from 5:30 to 8:45 p.m.

The registration fee is $150. A meal will be served at each session.
