FarmHER and RanchHER empower women in agriculture during National Agriculture Week

In observance of the 51st National Agriculture Week, two of Rural Media Group’s series, FarmHER and RanchHER, are amplifying the voices and stories of women in agriculture.

Through multimedia platforms, television shows, events and social media channels, FarmHER and RanchHER aim to inspire and empower the next generation of female agricultural leaders by showcasing their diverse experiences and achievements.

“Women are the heart of agriculture,” said FarmHer and RanchHer CEO Raquel Gottsch Koehler. “They bring diverse perspectives and invaluable contributions. I am proud to recognize the strong female presence in agriculture during National Agriculture Week and reaffirm our commitment to providing FarmHERs and RanchHERs with the support, resources and praise they deserve."

FarmHER and RanchHER offer a variety of programs and initiatives designed to support women in agriculture, including educational workshops and networking events. Through these efforts, FarmHER and RanchHER strive to foster a more inclusive and equitable agricultural industry where women can thrive and succeed.

FarmHER, a television series showcasing the vital role women play in the agriculture industry, returned to RFD-TV on National Agriculture Day, March 19. Hosted by Kirbe Schnoor, the season will have six episodes. Episodes will also repeat each week at 9:30 p.m. ET Fridays and 11:30 a.m. ET Saturdays. RanchHER television episodes will begin April 30.

“The role of women in agriculture cannot be overstated,” Schnoor said. “Women bring a deep connection to the land that sustains our communities and nourishes our future."
