Women Managing Crops
February 3, February 10, February 17, February 24, 2022 | Nora Springs, Iowa
A four-session course focusing on crop production decisions.
What is the Women Managing Crops course?
Women own 47% of Iowa farmland (Duffy 2012.) Whether these landowners farm the acres themselves, or lease out their land to other farmers, they are taking on increasing managerial roles. Other women are not land owners, but find themselves taking on many crop production roles. Still other women in rural Iowa just want to learn more about typical agronomic production and Iowa’s soil and water.
This course is designed for women of all ages and experience levels who want to know more about the key agronomic decisions for corn and soybean production. The sessions take a seasonal approach and cover decision-making for pre-planting, the growing phase, and harvest.
