Money and finances are a unique source of stress for many farm women.  More than 90% of women will find themselves solely responsible for their finances at some point during their adult life. This may include the farm finances in addition to your personal finances. It can be overwhelming and many women report they avoid talking about money matters.

We want to change that.

We are inviting Missouri's women in agriculture to attend the Empowered Women, Empower Agriculture Seminar on March 3. Topics include an agricultural outlook, financial tools, market insights and networking opportunities essential for success in today’s evolving industry. 

Register using the form below the speaker information at the bottom of this page. FCS Financial is offering this as a complimentary seminar, seating is limited if you are interested in attending, please complete the registration form below.
