As the number of women involved in agriculture increases Annie’s Project is taking a closer look at agricultural women’s involvement with its new survey, the Agriculture Women’s Community & Leadership Survey. The survey is sponsored by Annie’s Project and Farm Credit and the results will be used to help design educational programs to expand women’s involvement in their communities and agricultural organizations.

Annie’s Project empowers farm and ranch women and growers to be better business partners through networks and by managing and organizing critical information. Farm Credit is a nationwide network of 72 customer-owned financial institutions.

“Our interest is to strengthen rural and agricultural communities by tapping into the talents of the women living and working there," says Doris Mold, Annie’s Project Co-CEO.  Dr. Karisha Devlin, Annie’s Project Co-CEO adds, “It is critical for us to also develop an understanding of the tools that they need to become more effective leaders in their communities.”

Anyone with an interest in women’s agricultural leadership is encouraged to take the survey. The survey is open through Aug. 20 and may be found using the following link:
