America's Female Farmers

With the aging population of America's farmers and questions of where ag’s next generation will come from, one group has shown rapid growth: women. In fact, the number of female farmers in the U.S. has almost tripled over the past thirty years, with women now representing 30% of American farm operators. Coming from diverse backgrounds, some of these women grew up on the farm and other women are being drawn into agriculture from vastly different backgrounds.    

Tires for Today's Dairies 

Every summer, there’s one thing that brings people across the United States together: ice cream. While we may disagree over big questions like chocolate or vanilla, cone or cup, and sprinkles or syrup, there’s no denying that Americans love ice cream. And while Americans are enjoying a scoop (or two) of their favorite flavor, U.S. dairy producers are looking to capitalize on our massive appetite for ice cream and the opportunity to increase sales during the busy summer season.
