Specifically designed for farmers’ wives or their lifelong partners, the seminars will be delivered, chaired and supported by women – The Women’s Food and Farming Union and the Institute of Agricultural Secretaries and Administrators and sponsored by Envirosystems’ Liz Russell.
The workshop seminars will offer solutions to issues farming women frequently have to manage including; employment law, succession, negotiating skills and business implications for diversification enterprises.
RABDF chief executive, Nick Everington commented: “This year we will be encouraging farmers to bring along their wives or lifelong partners who we are well aware play a significant role in managing the business, as well as providing that vital and invaluable support.
“Livestock farming women frequently excel in multi-tasking using a diverse range of skills. Apart from managing a busy family life, they can be found working outdoors on the farm and running the farm office. Farming Women’s Workshops will provide useful information on how to deal with some of the significant challenges they have to face, as well as an opportunity to meet other farming women to discuss common issues.”
