HOUSTON, Texas (RFD News) — As the industry celebrates the International Year of the Woman Farmer, many women are navigating the physical and mental demands of agriculture.
Texas Master Beekeeper and licensed professional counselor Bridget Paige joined us on Monday’s Market Day Report on behalf of the AgriSafe Network to discuss her experience in the agriculture industry.
In her conversation with RFD News, Paige discussed the need for more conversations about menopause and women’s health, as well as ways the agricultural community can better support female producers.
Paige also encouraged women approaching menopause to listen to their bodies as carefully as they monitor their livestock and crops, saying they should put the same energy into their own health.
