Women in agriculture matter.⁣
⁣
When I was born, I was daughter #3 in our family. Someone said to my dad, “I bet you’re disappointed this one wasn’t a boy.” And he simply responded, “my daughters can do anything a son could do.”⁣
⁣
My dad never put limitations on us because we were girls. We drove tractors, we baled hay, and we did sheep chores. Even after my 2 brothers were born, we were still important to the farming operation. ⁣
⁣
Even though it’s 2018, women only make up 8% of the ag industry. But in my opinion, that number isn’t accurate. ⁣
⁣
The women who bring meals to the field, you matter to agriculture.⁣
⁣
To the women who run to town to pick up parts, you matter to agriculture.⁣
⁣
To the women who drive the grain cart, you matter to agriculture.⁣
⁣
To the women who work outside the home to support your household when farming is tough, you matter to agriculture.⁣
⁣
To the women who spend their entire lives supporting their farmers, you matter to agriculture. ⁣
⁣
I’m filled with so much joy to know that Addison will grow up as a part of the ag industry and have my dad as a role model. She will always have a place in agriculture, no matter how big or small of a role it may seem. 🚜
