[00:00:00.670]This is Amy Timmerman with this weeks Extension Update.
[00:00:04.247]The Nebraska Women in Agriculture program, in conjunction with Women in Agriculture
[00:00:08.457]programs at Purdue University and Kansas State University,
[00:00:12.659]will host a four-part extension workshop on the basics of land management,
[00:00:17.101]leasing and conservation for landlords and tenants.
[00:00:20.856]“The Power of Negotiation and Communication: Land Leasing Strategies
[00:00:24.935]for Midwestern Ag Women” will begin Wednesday, Jan. 18 at numerous
[00:00:31.071]sites in Nebraska, Kansas and Indiana including right here in O’Neill, Nebraska.
[00:00:36.401]The series will focus on writing agricultural lease agreements,
[00:00:40.401]landlord-tenant relationships, negotiations and conservation practices.
[00:00:46.734]Workshops will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 18, Jan. 25, Feb. 1, and Feb. 8.
[00:00:54.754]According to Department of Agriculture census data from 2017, there are over
[00:01:00.999]90,000 women producers and over 51,000 female landlords in the three states.
[00:01:07.669]“Women represent an important and growing demographic in agricultural
[00:01:11.727]land management and this workshop series will teach essential
[00:01:15.347]management information while providing women the chance
[00:01:18.757]to ask questions, connect with each other and share their experiences,”
[00:01:22.757]said Jessica Groskopf, director of the Nebraska Women in Agriculture program.
[00:01:28.049]Each state will host multiple satellite workshop sites with local extension personnel.
[00:01:33.527]Keynote speakers will be simulcast to each location and each site will provide
[00:01:38.827]additional speakers and hands-on activities.
[00:01:42.157]Dinner will be included.
[00:01:44.397]Groskopf said the program’s structure is intended to strengthen networks
[00:01:48.627]of women in rural areas, which can provide opportunities
[00:01:52.517]for building trust and sharing information.
[00:01:55.557]“Connections are so important to women farmers,” she said.
[00:01:59.247]“We have seen the benefits that come from knowing your peers,
[00:02:02.647]having a place to share difficulties and mitigate the isolation
[00:02:06.167]that so many of us in agriculture often feel.”
[00:02:09.757]These workshops seek to help participants increase
[00:02:12.157]their awareness of local land values and cash rental rates
[00:02:17.177]and the factors that influence them.
[00:02:19.479]They will also cover the importance of having a written lease and the
[00:02:22.719]items that should be included in it to ensure an equitable agreement for all parties.
[00:02:27.943]Participants will learn negotiation strategies as well as best practices
[00:02:32.061]to improve relationships between landlords and tenants.
[00:02:36.061]Conservation programs will also be covered, so that participants will have a greater
[00:02:41.279]understanding of compliance requirements and increase their awareness of
[00:02:45.279]voluntary conservation programs that are available to them.
[00:02:50.341]The workshop costs $50 per person and participants should plan to attend each session.
[00:02:56.141]A virtual option is available for those unable to attend
[00:03:00.143]a workshop site, for the cost of $75 per person.
[00:03:04.107]In-person attendance is highly encouraged to
[00:03:07.387]better network with other attendees and interact with speakers.
[00:03:12.326]Register by Friday, Jan. 13 at https://wia.unl.edu/
[00:03:22.559]or contact the local Holt County Extension Office at 402.336.2760.
