The Nebraska Women in Agriculture program has launched Agri-Essentials, an online learning community designed to provide agricultural women across the state with a platform for education, support and networking.
The initiative aims to bring together women in farming, ranching and agribusiness, creating a space where members can access valuable resources, engage in meaningful discussions and enhance their skills.
By offering a variety of online courses, the community will serve as an essential resource for women looking to improve their agricultural practices, leadership abilities and business management strategies.
“Agri-Essentials is a great opportunity for women in agriculture to come together, no matter where they are located,” said Jessica Groskopf, director of Nebraska Women in Agriculture. “With the flexibility of online learning, we can offer educational opportunities that meet the needs of our diverse community.”
Key features of the online learning community include:
At least one new course will be launched each quarter. Course topics under development include QuickBooks for farm and ranch recordkeeping, livestock insurance, and crop insurance.
“Whether you are new to agriculture or a seasoned professional, this platform will provide access to the knowledge, skills and support needed to thrive in today’s agricultural landscape,” Groskopf said.
