A woman, proudly on horseback, rides through a cattle herd. Another woman in a cowboy hat and boots, surveys a pasture. A third hauls freshly picked produce from the field.
These are some images of women who are working America’s farms and ranches. Women have always been an integral part of our Nation’s agricultural history. The 2012 Agricultural Census counts nearly 1 million of us in the fields and on the land. What else can numbers and images tell us about the role women are playing in agriculture? What else are we not counting or seeing?
