Key Points

  • This resolution proposes making March 21, 2026, an official day to honor women in the farming industry. It aims to celebrate the hard work of women who help grow the nation's food and manage agricultural businesses.
  • The proposal notes that women make up about one-third of all farmers in the United States. In 2022, farms run by women sold $222 billion worth of products, which accounted for 41% of all agricultural sales in the country that year.
  • The day would also recognize women who work in agricultural science, teaching, and leadership. It highlights how women mentor young people in programs like 4-H and FFA to prepare them for future careers in farming and ranching.
