Farm couples who are looking for a chance to review their goals while learning and relaxing in a scenic part of the state should consider attending the Farm Couple Getaway, Feb. 16-17 in northeast Iowa.
This no-cost event is organized by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, with support from the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation and ISU Extension and Outreach Winneshiek County. The getaway will be held at the elegant Hotel Winneshiek in Decorah, with educational sessions led by Larry Tranel and Jennifer Bentley, dairy specialists with ISU Extension and Outreach.
“This event has proven to be a rewarding experience for farm couples who want to take some time to examine where they’re at, where they want to go, and what resources are available to help them accomplish their goals,” said Bentley.
The program provides opportunities for interaction, and couples include all ages and agricultural backgrounds.
The event is aimed at farmers wanting to take advantage of activities to improve farm family communication; work on farm or family goal setting, or farm transitions; or who just would like a weekend away to discuss farm and family issues.
