BISMARK, Ark. (RFD NEWS) — The Arkansas Farm Bureau is celebrating the International Year of the Woman Farmer. The women paving the way in the state ag sector continue to break barriers and inspire the next generation of producers.
Magen Allen of JA Farms Feed is one of the trailblazers making her mark in the agriculture industry. Allen was the first woman elected as an officer in the Arkansas Farm Bureau.
“It’s very important to have women involved in Farm Bureau and any of the programs that we have,” Allen says, “It’s just showing those younger generations and even those around me right now that it is possible.”
According to the latest Arkansas Census of Agriculture, there are more than 26,000 female farmers in the state which makes up 39 percent of all producers.
