NASHVILLE, TENN. (RFD NEWS) — There is something powerful about women who show up, speak up, and shape the future of agriculture—and that is exactly what you will get to see on our upcoming special “Women Who Grow Change,” presented by FarmHER + RanchHER in partnership with John Deere.

At this year’s CattleCon 2026 in Nashville, FarmHER + RanchHER host Kirbe Schnoor sat down with three women who are helping lead the cattle industry forward—each bringing her own perspective, passion, and purpose to the table.

These are more than just conversations—you will hear stories of resilience, leadership, and the grit that defines women leading in agriculture today.

Meet the Women Behind the Movement

Caroline Larson

A business owner in the Western marketing space, Caroline represents a new generation of storytellers—helping agriculture connect, communicate, and thrive in a digital world. Her work bridges tradition and innovation, ensuring the voices of ranchers are heard far beyond the pasture.

Meredith Halweg

An agriculture advocate deeply rooted in her community, Meredith works alongside local organizations to champion the industry and the people behind it. Her passion lies in building connections—between producers, consumers, and the next generation stepping into ag.

Anne Anderson

As Marketing Manager for the 6 Series at John Deere, Anne brings a global brand perspective to the conversation. She understands the evolving needs of today’s producers and the role innovation plays in supporting them—especially as more women take on leadership roles across the industry.

More Than a Panel—A Shared Purpose

Together, these women represent different corners of agriculture—but they share a common mission: to grow something bigger than themselves. From the show ring to the boardroom, from rural communities to national stages, their voices are shaping what’s next for the cattle industry—and agriculture as a whole. When women in ag come together, they don’t just grow crops or raise cattle…they grow change.
