MU Extension sets Annie’s Project spring course 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, 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.
Two course formats will be available this spring. Online courses include self-paced activities and videos, and classes meet each week for 2.5-hour live interactive online sessions. The hybrid course option combines virtual and in-person learning.
The Annie’s Project – Hybrid course will meet in-person and online each week from March 1 to April 5. The course is designed for women who have day-to-day farm management roles. Weekly virtual classes will take place from 6-8 p.m. on Thursdays via Zoom. In-person class times are from 5:30-8:30 p.m. on Tuesdays in St. Joseph, Ste. Genevieve or Marshall.
