Everything we do is for agriculture, and it is all thanks to the amazing group who volunteer their time and effort to plan initiatives and events across the province! We asked each of our team members why they were proud to be a Woman in Ag - take some time and get to know a little more about each one of us!

What do you love best about the agriculture industry: Growing up on a farm i've seen first hand the dedication, resilience and pride that goes into every acre and every animal. The agriculture industry is rooted in both tradition and innovation with each day bringing about new challenges and new solutions. Agriculture isn't just about growing a crop or raising an animal, it's about building a legacy and being a part of something bigger than ourselves. It's an industry that feeds the world but it also builds character and I'm proud to be a part of it.
