Women in Agriculture Contest and Conference


Women in Ag is a group whose mission is to empower, support and connect women in agriculture, while strengthening the industry as a whole. 

One of the ways we realize this mission is through our CONNECT – The Heart of the Farm Conference, that takes place in Saskatoon every November.  In addition to educational and inspirational speakers aimed to develop ones personal and professional growth, the conference also provides the opportunity to connect and learn with individuals from all throughout the province, working in various roles in the agriculture industry.  With a goal of celebrating all women in agriculture speakers cover topics ranging from Conflict Management, to Women’s Health, to Farm Stress, to Business Management and so much more.  With an underlying theme of Cultivating Confidence. Anyone could benefit from this event, regardless of age or background.
