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

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

for insurance costs. The Child Care session will help participants navigate the impact of childcare on
