November 30, 2006 NDSU Focuses on Empowering Farm Women through Annie’s Project The next six-week session of Annie’s Project will get under way the week of Jan. 22 at 15 locations across North Dakota. Annie’s Project is a program coordinated in North Dakota through the North Dakota State University Extension Service to enthuse and empower farm women to take a major interest in contributing to and managing the agricultural business. The course is six three-hour sessions. Introduced into North Dakota last year, Annie’s Project received very high reviews from the approximate 100 women who participated. Because of this success, the program has been expanded for next year. The Annie’s Project sites are Underwood, Carrington, Grand Forks, Cavalier, Grafton, Minot (afternoon and evening), Bowbells, Watford City, Devils Lake, Dickinson, McClusky, Fargo, Wahpeton, Oakes and Jamestown. According to Willie Huot, Annie’s Project state coordinator and Grand Forks County Extension agent, the program will be delivered to all sites by interactive television and local presenters. Topics include:
