<div><br>
</div>
<div>see below information for the East Ohio Women in Agriculture Conference in Massilon, Ohio. While there are no aquaculture specific talks, there are plenty of fantastic talks scheduled that are directly applicable to any agriculture business. Talks include
Understanding the LLC: Is it Right for Your Business?, Creating Your Brand Identity on a Shoestring, What Does it Means to be Certified Organic?, Healthy Farmers, Prosperous Farms and at least 14 other talks!</div>
<div><br>

<div>Regards,<br>
