Getting a grip on today?s agriculture technology and becoming an effective farm business partner is†the focus of Annie?s Project. Northeast Texas Community College Agriculture is joining this exciting initiative with a series of courses beginning in January. †Annie?s Project is based on the experiences of a farm wife who spent her†lifetime learning how to be an involved business partner with her farm husband. Together they did†great things, but it wasn?t easy. Annie?s project takes life experiences and share?s it with†farm women†living and working in a complex dynamic, evolving†business environment.
