to farmers and rural communities. These workshops will focus on critical topics such as health care,
health insurance, and childcare.
The workshops will be led by Stephanie Plaster, Farm Management Outreach Specialist, and Crystal
Walters, Human Development and Relationship Educator. They will take place on Friday, November

11:30 AM -1:00 PM, with a break from 11:00 AM-11:30 AM.
Workshop Details:
The Health Care session will help participants connect health care needs and insurance to farm and
family well-being, manage health insurance as part of farm risk, explore insurance options, and budget
for insurance costs. The Child Care session will help participants navigate the impact of childcare on
