It is Women’s History Month, and we want to highlight all the work done by Women in Agribusiness.
The organization is dedicated to growing a professional community of women, including through their annual summit. This year’s Women in Agribusiness Annual Summit is in September in Orlando.
Sharon Beals will be in attendance. She has a decades-long career in the industry serving in a number of roles as she continues to advocate for the food sector.
She spoke with RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander on her ag journey, the importance of women in the farm sector, and her message to other women looking to make a difference.
