This year’s Women in Ag Event features an inspirational keynote address from Stacy Hadrick. Stacy Hadrick is not just a fifth generation rancher; she's an innovator in the agricultural community. With a passion for helping others succeed, she finds joy in helping people explore and implement diverse income opportunities for their farms and ranches. Stacy's keynote address will focus on exploring the process of transforming 'what if I did...' ideas into results, through sharing personal stories and examples of how she has diversified her own family business. She'll provide insights and strategies that can be applied to your own farm or ranch, regardless of its size or focus.
