Women’s business course continues

The Agri-Women's Development Trust business programme for sheep and beef farming women has been confirmed for 2016 with funding from the Red Meat Profit Partnership.

Fourteen programmes will be held around New Zealand that will further engage women as critical farming partners by building business knowledge skills and confidence.

Each programme consists of four high-quality, full-day workshops delivered by industry experts over four months in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Understanding Your Farming Business (UYFB) is funded by the Red Meat Profit Partnership (RMPP).

More than 150 women completed the programme in 2015 following an earlier pilot in partnership with Beef + Lamb New Zealand that involved 90 women.

Programmes will be run in the Wairarapa, Tararua, Hunterville, Stratford, Blenheim, Cheviot, Wanaka, Gore, Hawkes Bay, Gisborne, Rotorua and National Park.
