Annie's Project

The goal of Annie’s Project is to provide an educational program designed to empower farm/ranch women to manage information systems used in critical decision making processes and develop a network support which is essential for continuing education and self-help. As a result of this education, women become confident members of the management team for their operation.


Annie's Humble Beginnings...

After growing up in a small town in Illinois, Annie married a farmer and spent her lifetime learning how to be an involved business partner with her husband. This project shares her experiences with farm women living and working in a complex business. The target audience is women actively involved in agriculture and agribusiness including women landowners. The program will be delivered in a series of six workshops that are three hours in length. It will combine lecture, discussion, individual work, small group work, computer work, and audio/visual support to address the topics of risk, financial statements, understanding personalities, marketing plans, business plans, estate planning, spreadsheets, and technology.
