Women Farmers in America

"The 2007 Census of Agriculture shows that women have a growing
presence in U.S. agriculture. Women are running more farms and
ranches, operating more land, and producing a greater value of
agricultural products than they were five years ago.
Of the 3.3 million U.S. farm operators counted in 2007 Census, 30.2
percent — or more than 1 million — were women. The total number of
women operators increased 19 percent from 2002, significantly outpacing
the 7 percent increase in the number of farmers overall. The number of
women who were the principal operators of a farm or ranch increased by
almost 30 percent, to 306,209. Women are now the principal operators of
14 percent of the nation’s 2.2 million farms," stated the U. S. Department of Agriculture

Farming is for women too.
