Ernst Champions National Women in Ag Day

Press Release

“Growing up on my family farm in southwest Iowa, I understand the triumphs and challenges that come with being a woman in agriculture. I’m honored to recognize the more than 1.2 million female farmers and producers in the United States that are essential to feeding and fueling our world. I keep a sign on my desk with the words, ‘the future is female’ and that especially rings true in the agriculture industry. Women who are producers, educators, advocates, and mentors lead the way in the field today and foster the next generation of agriculturalists for tomorrow.”
