    Life on a farm often means balancing long hours of work on the family business with the responsibilities of being a family member. This conference will showcase four Arizona agricultural families who will tell their stories of intertwining life and work.

    Sonja Hilgren, editor of Farm Journal magazine, will give the keynote address, "Critical Political Issues," about facing the legacy of agricultural families today and for generations to come.

    Other issues to be covered at the conference include water, power, family, social, financial, nutrition and health.

    The conference, co-sponsored by the University of Arizona College of Agriculture and the Arizona Farm Bureau, is hosted by the Arizona Farm Bureau Women's Leadership Committee.
