Farm News: Heart Of The Farm Conferences Kick OffcommentsPosted: 01.23.2012
Mark your calendars! A Heart of the Farm-Women in Agriculture conference will be held at the Birchwood Public Schools, Birchwood, WI, Feb. 4, 2012.
This program provides women with the opportunity to network with other farm women and learn about whole farm planning, taking care of yourself, communicating across generations, and a chance to baffle a Vet with questions.
The conference begins with registration at 9:15 a.m., followed by an ice breaker featuring a chair massage and will end at 3:00 p.m. with door prizes.
Topics and Presenters include:
-- Ice Breaker: Chair Massage. Theresa Vogel, L.M.T., Associated Bodyworkers and Massage Professional.
-- Charting a Course: using whole farm planning to balance business and family. Laura Paine, Grazing and Organic Agriculture Specialist, WI Dept. of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection
-- Ask A Vet! Dr. Don Peterson, Veterinary Clinic Limited, Barron, WI.
-- Taking Care of Your Whole Self. Clare Janty, Physician Assistant, Healthier Cumberland Coaching Initiative.
-- Connecting Across the Generations. Beverly Stencel, Community Resources Development Educator, UW-Extension, Washburn County.
-- Farm Succession Panel Discussion on transitioning to the next generation.
Lunch will be catered by Quillen’s Big Bear Food and Spirits and will feature local foods. Becky Splett and Jeanne Rowe, Bloomer, Wisconsin will provide music during lunch. Becky and Jeanne discovered their shared love of music and became Kindred Spirits—like the two best friends in the century old story, Anne of Green Gables. They enjoy playing violin and piano duets at community and church events.
Registration for the workshop is $20 per person. To register, obtain a brochure, or for more information, contact UW-Extension agents Kevin Schoessow or Otto Wiegand, 715-635-3506 or 800-528-1914, or Jenny Vanderlin, jmvander@wisc.edu, 608-263-7795, website at: www.uwex.edu/ces/heartofthefarm
