Past conferences have drawn nearly 200 participants. The theme will be "Strong Roots-Bright Future."
"We are very excited about our two keynote speakers for the upcoming conference. Leading off the morning will be Dr. Shannon Ferrell, Ag Law Professor from Oklahoma State University, speaking on 'Farm Transitions to the Next Generation,' " reports Susan Henning, conference chairman. Since the inception of the Women in Ag Conference in 2005, estate planning has been a popular and much-requested topic for all farm families. "We are also privileged that Dr. Christine Rattin, a heart specialist with the Oklahoma Heart Hospital, is making time in her busy schedule to present information on Women's Heart Health."
A $15 pre-registration fee per person (the same as in past years) will include the luncheon and conference happenings.
