Today, female producers make up more than one-third of the nation’s farmers—a 27% increase from the 2012 census results. In addition, of the 2.04 million farms and ranches in the U.S., 38% are owned or managed by female producers.
According to a recent Farm Bureau poll, 91% of the 3,000 women who participated in the survey said they want to see more women fill leadership roles in agriculture.
