In honor of Women’s History Month, we checked back in with April Hemmes (featured on FarmHER Season 1), an Iowa soybean producer who has been a strong advocate for agriculture and has served in various industry roles.
April Hemmes spoke with RFD-TV’s Tammi Arender about her ag journey, the importance of women in the ag sector, and her message to other FarmHERs.
