About WLL

The Central Iowa Chapter combines Dallas and Polk County.

Women, Land & Legacy (WLL) is a locally led initiative empowering and connecting women interested in agriculture and conservation, fostering support and opportunities using a bottoms-up approach that prioritizes their voices.

Many Iowa women already own farmland, know someone who does, or may inherit a family farm. And a growing number of women actively farm, are considering a career in farming, or are in another type of agricultural career.

WLL offers women the opportunity to network with other local women farmers and landowners to become well-informed decision makers. WLL began connecting local women networks in 2004 and continues to expand across Iowa.

Participating in WLL will help you:
🌻 Connect with other women landowners and operators. 
🌻 Meet resource professionals who can help with farm and conservation services and programs.
🌻 Become empowered with the information needed to make the best decisions for your land and farm business.
🌻 Expand your knowledge and build long-lasting networks.

WLL connects government and non-proft organizations with agricultural and rural women to assist them in farming and conservation decisions. 

The USDA is an equal opportunity lender, provider and employer.

The goal of Polk SWCD is to protect water quality and conserve soil resources in Iowa.

To provide leadership that helps people improve, conserve, and sustain our natural resources while educating them on the importance and practicality of maintaining our environment and quality of life.
