#NationalAgWeek 2026 is underway! This is a week to recognize and celebrate the importance of agriculture in our daily lives. The celebrations aren't contained to this week, though - 2026 is the #YearOfTheWomanFarmer! Did you know that according to the 2017 Census of Agriculture, women account for just 36% of the country's 3.4 million producers? The American Farm Bureau Federation #NationalWomenInAgriculture Study seeks to better understand the women who drive American agriculture through a National #WomenInAgriculture Study. The survey is open through March 31, 2026. For more information and to complete the survey, visit: https://lnkd.in/gjKe4Ajz
