In recognition of International Women’s Day in March, Farms.com connected with multiple female farmers across North America to discuss what they’d tell their 12-year-old selves about being a farmer, what they’d say to young women entering the ag sector, and who they consider to be an ag hero or inspiration.
In the U.S., Farms.com spoke with Katy Schultz, a dairy farmer from Wisconsin, Ruth Ready, a grain farmer from Nebraska, and Amanda Nigg, a farmer and on-farm entrepreneur from South Dakota.
