ORISKANY, N.Y. — The Women in Farming Discussion Group (WiADG) is a peer group of Farm Women from across the region who are interested in coming together to tackle, discuss, and learn about some of their most pressing issues. The group will begin meeting again April 20, 6- 9 pm, at the CCE Oneida County Office.

These monthly sessions are facilitated by Bonnie Collins, Farm Business Management Educator from Cornell Cooperative Extension Oneida County. Facilitating does not mean leading. Various nonprofit leaders and industry supporters will cover a wide range of topics, including leadership, financial management, labor management, and strategic thinking.

The objective of this first meeting is to catch up with past members, welcome new members, and for you to decide what you want to discuss and learn about.

The Women in Farming Discussion Group is open for registration https://reg.cce.cornell.edu/WiFDG_230 at the beginning of each quarter (April, July, October, and January). This allows for contact information and hand-out materials.

Please contact Collins at [email protected] if you have not yet been confirmed as a participant.
