Agronomy in the Field is a multi-session and hands-on workshop being offered by Iowa State University Extension & Outreach for women landowners, farmers, conservationists, and other women who are interested in learning more about agronomy. This series of workshops will be held during the 2025 growing season.
The goals of the Agronomy in the Field series are to strengthen agronomic skills for women that allow for better decision-making, provide a better understanding of inputs for crop production, see and understand different conservation practices and increase confidence in communication with their spouse, farming partner, ag retailer or tenant.
Sessions are designed to be hands-on and conducted in the field to see real-time conditions. Agronomy in the Field sessions will be offered April 29, May 27, June 24, July 22, August 26 and September 9 from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. Sessions will be held at a farm east of Hampton. An email will be sent to those that register with specific session and location information.
There is a $50 registration fee ($30 for high school or college students), which includes all materials and resources.
