SUMMARY:Leaving a Lasting Legacy for Midwestern Farm Women
STATUS:CONFIRMED
DESCRIPTION:A multi-state extension workshop series for women in agricultur
 e will offer strategies to evaluate and improve farm estate and transition
  plans. \n\n“Leaving a Lasting Legacy for Midwestern Farm Women\: A Succ
 ession Planning Series\,” will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Central time on 
 Jan. 21\, Jan. 28\, Feb. 4 and Feb. 11 at sites across Kansas\, Nebraska a
 nd Indiana. The series is being produced through a collaborative effort by
  extension programs at Kansas State University\, the University of Nebrask
 a-Lincoln and Purdue University. \n\nTopics covered will include motivatio
 n for succession planning\, communicating with family\, the financial aspe
 cts of estate and transition plans\, and the legal aspects of putting a pl
 an in place. A keynote speaker will be simulcast to every workshop locatio
 n during each meeting\, with time for questions and a hands-on activity fo
 r participants. A meal will be provided on each date.\n\n“Planning for w
 hat happens to your things when you’re gone can be daunting\, but it’s
  so important\, especially in agriculture\, so that the transition to the 
 next generation goes smoothly\,” said Jessica Groskopf\, director of the
  Nebraska Women in Agriculture program. “This series will help women lea
 rn best practices and new strategies to help the transition and estate pla
 nning processes so they can take that back to their farm or ranch and help
  lead the way in creating or reevaluating their plans.”\n\nGroskopf said
  the program’s structure is intended to strengthen networks of women in 
 rural areas\, which can provide opportunities for building trust and shari
 ng information. “Connections are so important to rural women\,” she sa
 id. “We have seen the benefits that come from knowing your peers\, havin
 g a place to share difficulties\, and mitigate the isolation that so many 
 of us in agriculture often feel.”\n\nThe registration fee for in-person 
 attendance is $60 before Jan. 13 and increases to $75 on or after Jan. 13.
  A virtual option is available for $75. Participants are encouraged to att
 end all four sessions. Registration information is available at https\://w
