The Women in Agriculture Conference committee is excited for the 2023, Women in Agriculture Conference. Carey Portell will headline for the annual Women in Agriculture Conference in Rock Island on Friday, March 24, 2023.

She and her husband oversee a farm in mid-Missouri where she balances between speaking and cattle farming. Portell strives to motivate and inspire audiences, encouraging them to break through limitations, learn to believe in oneself, and tap into their higher power as a source of inspiration. Her message will teach attendees to thrive despite challenges and arrive with an attitude of gratitude on their path to success.

The keynote will be followed by a variety of breakout sessions as well a buffet lunch.

Closing out the conference is Amanda Radke. She is a fifth-generation rancher from Mitchell, S.D. who has dedicated her career to serving as a voice for the nation’s farmers and ranchers. Radke regularly tackles industry issues as a columnist and speaker.  Radke challenges listeners to change their outlook in the face of great uncertainties to PIVOT. CONNECT.
