BROOKINGS, S.D. - If you're a woman involved in the agriculture industry, then Annie's Project may be the program for you.
Annie's Project was designed to empower women by providing detailed farm and ranch management information and build networks between women, according to a release from South Dakota State University Extension. Over a six-week period, women will learn how to develop financial records, improve communication skills, ask questions about retirement and estate planning and expand marketing knowledge.
Classes meet once a week beginning May 7 in the St. Onge Community Hall, 234 1st St. The classes continue May 14, 21, 28 and June 4 and 11. Each session will run from 6 to 9 p.m.
The cost is $150 per person and meals will be served at each session. Registration cost will be reduced based on the amount of local sponsorship received.
Pre-registration is due by April 24. For more information, contact Shannon Sand, SDSU Extension livestock business management field specialist at the SDSU Extension Regional Center in Rapid City at (605) 394-1722 or email shannon.sand@sdstate.edu . Class space is limited.
