The focus of The Impact Summit by Farmher, a one-day conference in Iowa in late November, is to empower and impact women in agriculture for the purpose of connection, collaboration, and personal development.

The event will provide women in all facets of the agricultural industry a platform to discuss a variety of topics related to their work as well as a perfect place to network with other female agriculturalists from across Rural America who share these important values.

One such person in attendance will be Raquel Gottsch Koehler, the new owner and CEO of FarmHer, Inc. She shares her goals and hopes for the event, saying, in part:

“I am looking forward to discussing challenges, ideas, and opportunities on ways we can all work together to broaden our impact on women in agriculture. I love a great day surrounded by inspirational ladies, and I hope everyone who attends leaves with a little more pep in their boots as we head into the end of the year.”

The diverse lineup of speakers and panelists slated to take part in the one-day event will share tips with participants on how to succeed in all facets of the industry — from the field to the boardroom, to the classroom, to the Senate floor, and more.

This can’t-miss event will take place in Ankeny, Iowa, on Wednesday, November 29, 2023. Tickets for The Impact Summit by FarmHer are now available and cost $85. However, there are discounts for groups of more than 10. Since a limited number of spots are available, interested FarmHers are encouraged to reserve their spots early.
