MU Extension Sets Annie's Project Spring Schedule
COLUMBIA, MISSOURI
Women in agriculture can improve their risk management skills and network with peers during Annie’s Project courses scheduled for spring 2022.
Hosted by University of Missouri Extension, the Annie’s Project courses feature 18 hours of risk management education. “The courses focus on how to manage five types of farm risk – production, market, financial, legal and human resources,” said MU Extension agricultural business specialist Karisha Devlin.
Two course formats will be available this spring: online and hybrid.
Online courses meet weekly for 2.5-hour interactive sessions and include self-paced activities and videos. The hybrid course option combines virtual and in-person learning.
The Annie’s Project hybrid course begins March 1 and is designed for women with day-to-day farm management roles. Weekly online classes are 6-8 p.m. Thursdays via Zoom. In-person classes are 5:30-8:30 p.m.
Tuesdays in St. Joseph, Ste. Genevieve and Marshall. Choose your preferred in-person class site when you sign up at muext.us/ABPevents.
The $75 registration fee is due Feb. 25. For more information, contact Tracie Moore at mooretra@missouri.edu.
