COMING SOON: Meet the FarmHER Ready to Lead Alabama Agriculture

FarmHER Christina Woerner McInnis joined us to discuss the next episode of “FarmHER + RanchHER” and her decision to run for Alabama Ag Commissioner.

FOLEY, Ala. (RFD-TV) — From championing soil health innovation to stepping into the political arena, FarmHER Christina Woerner McInnis has built a remarkable career in agriculture. As the CEO and founder of AgriTech Corp—best known for its signature product, SoilKit—McInnis has dedicated her work to helping farmers improve their soil health through simple, data-driven tools.

On this week’s episode of FarmHER + RanchHER, McInnis invites host Kirbe Schnoor to Alabama to share her story of balancing farm life, raising a family, running a business, and now launching a campaign to become Alabama’s Commissioner of Agriculture.

Christina joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to discuss her upcoming episode. In her conversation with RFD-TV News, McInnis reflected on her roots in the Woerner family farming operation and how her experiences inspired her to focus on soil health solutions. She discussed the mission of SoilKit and the partnerships that have supported its growth in helping farmers and gardeners easily test and improve soil quality.

McInnis also discussed her decision to run for Alabama’s Commissioner of Agriculture, emphasizing how her background as a farmer, business owner, and mother has prepared her to advocate for the state’s agricultural producers on a broader scale.

She hopes her story will inspire others, especially women in agriculture, to pursue leadership opportunities while staying connected to their agricultural roots.
