Women in Agriculture

[sumdumguy]

Does anyone know of an active female ag operator who would like to be high lighted in a photo-shoot?

I know a local woman who could probably out work a man, very nice humble person. She came from a salt of the earth family.

What ever happened to farmer Megs? I think she runs a farm and is an agvocate. I don’t follow any of that stuff but it hits the radar on occasion.

That's an understatement. ....every time she is in public supposedly representing farmers ...I feel like throwing up ....

My wife? I need some context. What kind of photo shoot? For an article? Would it help increase exposure for our farm?

[sumdumguy]

Sheepwheat, actually I was thinking you would come up with someone. Your wife would prolly be great. This photographer has a track record. Can you private message me? I can see it now.

Your wife was excellent on the tv article
She is a natural and can tell she really does love the farm !

Hah, thanks 😳

SumDumGuy it’s not terribly hard to find women active in ag. Go check in at the local farm store or auction mart, there will be women around and they aren’t all there just because their husbands wanted to stop in. And if the photographer doesn’t need someone who necessarily owns her own farm but works within ag then the opportunities are huge. Feedlots for sure, and I believe dairies as well, have high female employment rates. I don’t work with other livestock but could presume chicken and pig barns are similar.

Approach a lady in a rural setting and ask. Usually we’re just behind the scenes a bit more, not inactive.
