NORFOLK, Neb. -- Registration is underway for the 16th annual AgCeptional Women’s Conference.
This year’s theme is “Emerging Agriculture” and will be held Friday, Nov. 22, at the Lifelong Learning Center.
The AgCeptional Women’s Conference will feature more than 20 speakers. Some topics include: emerging technology in livestock production, an introduction to mindfulness, transforming how you use your time, advanced technologies in livestock reproduction, postural restoration physical therapy, appraising agricultural land, skin health and the necessity of sunlight, navigating family dynamics on the farm and ranch, stopping the stress cycle, grain marketing panel, all levels yoga class, and many more options to choose from.
“From spray drones, to RFID tags in cattle, or even autonomous tractors, as farmers or ranchers we are witnessing emerging agriculture. The 16th annual AgCeptional Women’s Conference hopes to highlight these advancements to agriculture, as well as the emerging ways we as producers or members of rural communities can continue to improve our health and wellbeing,” said Karmen Hake, AgCeptional administrative assistant.
The opening session will feature a keynote speaker who has faced much adversity in her life yet continues to move forward.
Brooke Clay Taylor was building a career while building her family until she was struck with a breast cancer diagnosis six hours before welcoming her baby into the world. As she fought a second round of cancer, she created the Rural Gone Urban Foundation to support brave, strong women who need people in their corner.
Today, with a handful of clear scans in the rearview, she shares her inspiring message with wit, humor, and her real reel.
A tribute to the recipient of the 2024 AgCeptional Spotlight Award will also be a highlight of the conference.
The registration fee is $60. “We are able to keep the cost of attending the conference affordable thanks to the support of the many sponsors of our event,” Hake said.
