Land leasing strategies for women in ag

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Build your land management and leasing knowledge while networking with other women in agriculture at the workshop series, “The Power of Negotiation & Communication: Land Leasing Strategies for Midwestern Women in Ag.”

The program is a three-state collaboration of Extension women in agriculture programs at Purdue University, Kansas State University and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Workshop dates are from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Jan. 18, Jan. 25, Feb. 1 and Feb. 8. Sessions will be held simultaneously at 65 host sites in Indiana, Kansas and Nebraska.

These workshops will help raise your awareness of local land values and cash rental rates, along with the factors that influence them.

Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, you’ll learn more about the importance of having a written lease, what should be included in it and how to ensure it is equitable for both parties.

Participants will hear from keynote speakers who will be streamed live to the workshop sites in all three states. Each site will also host local speakers and hands-on activities.

Attendees will have the chance to ask questions of local Extension experts while learning negotiating strategies and best practices to improve the landlord-tenant relationship.

You will leave with a greater understanding of conservation programs, including compliance requirements and voluntary programs that are available.

The workshop costs $50 per person and participants should plan to attend each session. A virtual option is available for those unable to attend a workshop site, although in-person attendance is highly encouraged to better network with other attendees and interact with speakers.

Registration is required by Jan. 13. Individuals participating in-person will receive a dinner at each session.
