The 2006 Virginia Women in Agriculture Conference was held March 21, 2006, in Staunton, Virginia. The purpose of the Virginia Women in Agriculture Conference is to provide educational opportunities for women involved in agriculture and agri-business in Virginia. The conference featured a series of presentations on topics of high interest as a result of a state survey completed in November, 2005. It is designed to create new opportunities through education and networking to empower individuals in a changing environment. The conference was sponsered by Virginia Cooperative Extension, Colonial Farm Credit, Southern States, Virginia Farm Bureau, and the Women's Center at Virginia Tech.
