Its curriculum's are designed to empower farm and ranch women to be better farm business managers, enhance conservation practices and agricultural sustainability, contribute to their rural communities, and be a positive influence on family decision-making. The MTT curriculum provides participants with the tools and resources to help begin the process of farm transitioning to the next generation and/or to an appropriate farm business ownership.

Pertinent discussions accompany presentations including follow-up activities for family members to address at home.
