Tribute to Women in Agriculture

Women play a very important role in farming operations, and we at Landmark would like to pay a special tribute to them, but we need YOUR help to do so! 

We’re creating a video tribute that will be shared via social media to highlight hardworking women in agriculture.  Participating is easy!  Simply:

·        Submit photos of women involved in agriculture or on the farm that can be used in this tribute video by uploading them to the Landmark Facebook page, or emailing kristi.olson@landmark.coop.

·        Photo submission deadline is April 23^rd, 2014.

·        For each photo entered, the submitter will be entered to win one of three $25 VISA gift cards.

·        The video will be released April 25^th, 2014. 

·        Share the completed video to help spread this very important message about agriculture!

Did you know:

·         Of the 3.3 million farm operators, over 1 million are women.

·         45% of all women operated farms specialize in raising livestock such as calves, horses, swine and sheep.

·        Women are now the principal operators of 14% of the nation’s 2.2 million farms.
