Land is an important investment and nearly 50 percent of landowners in Ohio are female. Ohio State University is presenting a landowners series especially for women.

This series is designed to help female landowners understand critical conservation and farm management issues related to owning land. It will provide participants with the knowledge, skills and confidence to talk with tenants about farming and conservation practices used on their land. The farm management portion will provide an understanding of passing land on to the next generation and help establish fair rental rates by looking at current farm budgets.

The series runs every other Thursday, June 14 through Aug. 23 from 9 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Cost is $50 for the series or $10 per session.

For questions or more information, please contact Amanda Douridas at 937-484-1526 or [email protected]. Registration is due by June 4.
