Every STEP Counts: Prioritizing Safety with Women in Agribusiness

FarmHER Erin Cumings shares how Nationwide’s “Every STEP Counts” helps farm and agribusiness owners prioritize safety.

ORLANDO, Fla. (RFD-TV) — The Women in Agribusiness Summit brought more than 700 leaders together in Florida to share ideas and connect.

While there, FarmHER + RanchHER host Kirbe Schnoor spoke with Iowa FarmHER Erin Cumings from Nationwide about their new safety initiative, Every STEP Counts, and how it helps farm and agribusiness owners prioritize safety.

Erin not only runs a diversified farm in Central Iowa with her husband, producing corn, soybeans, hay, and beef, but she also spearheads the Nationwide Sponsor Relations team, building relationships and partnerships with ag organizations across the country.
