The 10th annual Iowa Women in Agriculture Conference will be from 8:15 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. July 26 at the FFA Enrichment Center in Ankeny.

Participants also have an opportunity to attend a Water Quality Tour from 12:30 to 5 p.m. and a wine and cheese welcome networking reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
