Key Points

This resolution officially names March 21, 2026, as a day to celebrate women working in farming and ranching. It highlights the huge role women play in growing the nation's food and managing agricultural businesses.
There are more than 1.2 million women working as agricultural producers in the U.S., which is about one-third of all farmers. In 2022, farms run by women sold $222 billion worth of products, making up 41% of all U.S. farm sales.
The resolution encourages more women to enter the farming industry and recognizes those who serve as mentors in youth programs like 4-H and FFA. It also aligns with the International Year of the Woman Farmer being celebrated in 2026.
