The University of Missouri Extension is offering a series of courses aimed at helping women in agriculture.
The courses are part of Annie's Project, a program that started in Illinois about nine years ago, and has since spread to other states. The program is named for an Illinois woman who ran a farm and raised six children in the 1950s.
Topics include farm record-keeping and taxes, business plans, how property is titled, pasture rental contracts and estate planning.
A grant through the North Central Risk Management Center helps fund the program - the series of seven classes begins Feb. 12th in Bolivar, Missouri.
