Hi Ladies,
I am working on a calender for the Queen of the Furrow program and the theme is the value of women in agriculture. Im looking for any facts, important dates, achievements. etc to add. If you know of any resources I would be able to access your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I am the only woman who sits on the Holland Marsh Grower's Association Board (the Farmers voted for me last November--I was honoured, since I beat out a male Farmer--evil, knowing laugh). Our 2nd AGM is on Thursday, we'll see if I remain on the Board!

I believe having a woman's perspective and input on an operation, can be invaluable to a farming operation. We see things a little differently sometimes, which is a definite benefit in the long run. My husband and I are a team, a good one, but that's because I don't hold back--he gets my opinion whether he wants it or not!
