A health fair and wine tasting are being added as preconference offerings for “Celebrating Ag Women,” the 2008 Women Managing the Farm Conference scheduled for Feb. 8 and 9 at the Grand Prairie Hotel and Convention Center in Hutchinson.

The conference highlights topics of interest to women who have chosen agribusiness as their career, said Kristy Archuleta, conference coordinator, who is based at Kansas State University.

Sessions will cover topics that include managing a family farm or a farm partnership; planning and conducting a successful business meeting; evaluating insurance needs; and managing time to balance work and family, reduce stress and improve health.

Preconference events are included with registration for the two-day conference. Cost is $75 for registrations made by Friday and $90 thereafter. One-day registration costs $50.
