University of Minnesota Extension, and the MN Department of Agriculture are excited to hold the first annual Ag for All conference for LGBTQIA+ Farmers and Agriculturists on March 8, 2025.
Our theme for the day is Transforming Barriers into Breakthroughs as we engage in opportunities to learn from each other and context experts about the unique role the LGBTQIA+ community has in the agriculture industry. In addition to plenty of time to network and get to know your LGBTQIA+ neighbors, the day will feature a panel of professionals, producers, and community members, as well as educational workshops, and roundtable discussions on emerging topics affecting the LGBTQIA+ community.
