Annie's Project is a six-week course offered by the University of Illinois Extension in partnership with Annie's Project. The program looks to empower women in agriculture by holding discussion-based workships that bring women together to learn from experts in production, financial management, human resourced, marketing, and the legal field.

Annie's Project is being offered by the Macoupin County Extension Office in Carlinville from 6-9pm on February 16, 18, 23, 25 and March 1 and 3 2016. The six-session course will cover: personality assessment, working with government agencies, business planning for farms, basic financial documents for farms, crop insurance basics, marketing basics for selling crops and livestock, leasing farmland, and estate planning.

The program offers time for questions, sharing, reacting, and connecting with the presenters and fellow participants. Registration is $50 and covers the course materials.
