To gauge the goals, aspirations, achievements and needs of women in American agriculture, the American Farm Bureau Federation’s (AFBF) Women’s Leadership Program launched “Women in Ag,” an online survey.
Women who are farmers, ranchers, farm/ranch employees, employed in agricultural businesses, pursuing ag-related higher education or supportive of agriculture in other ways are invited to take the survey at womeninag.fb.org. Respondents must live in the U.S.
Data collected will be used to gauge trends related to the achievements of women in agriculture, including leadership positions, business successes and election to public office.
Preliminary findings will be released in February 2015.
