Powerful female leaders of 4-H and Tractor Supply are helping young FarmHers enter agriculture!

All month long we have been connecting with female farmers in honor of Women’s History Month.

We now want to get an update on efforts to prepare the next generation of women entering agriculture.

Two female industry leaders, National 4-H Council President and CEO Jill Bramble and Marti Skold-Jordan with the Tractor Supply Company Foundation joined RFD-TV’s Tammi Aredner to discuss 4-H’s Beyond Ready Initiative, how promoting agricultural education will help advance this goal, and their message to women in agriculture looking to make a difference in the industry.
