NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RFD-TV) — The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) has launched a new nationwide ‘Women in Agriculture Study, aiming to capture voices from across all 50 states and U.S. Territories like Puerto Rico.
The survey is open through March and seeks insights from women working in farming, agribusiness, education, and advocacy. The goal is to identify challenges, leadership opportunities, and ways to strengthen support for women in ag.
