Women In Agriculture
Are Challenging Stereotypes
(BPT) - About a third of the nation’s
farmers are women, according to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture. And most of these
women are working family farms, since 99
percent of all American farms are familyowned
and operated. Just under 1 million
women farmers contribute $12.9 billion to
the nation’s economy and are responsible for
farming more than 301 million acres.
More women are seeking careers in
agriculture, and they’re breaking stereotypes
about what their roles can be. Many women
in the agriculture industry are farmers who
grow crops and raise animals, while others
are helping advance agriculture by fulfilling
non-traditional roles:
Megan Moll grew up working on her
family’s farm in central Michigan. Today, as a
sales representative for Syngenta, she supports
a network of independent seed advisers who
sell the company’s corn hybrids and soybean
varieties. She started with the company as
an intern. “If you want to go after it, go
after it,” Moll advises women who may be
considering a career in agriculture. “Don’t
let anything stop you.”
In 1999, Brenda Wolgamott and her
husband, Duane, entered the wine-growing
business; and in 2002, they created their own
label - Marin’s Vineyard - named for their
daughter, Marin Wolgamott. At age 14, Marin
began delving into the science of winemaking,
learning how to test grapes for sugar and
pH levels in a lab, so she could provide the
service to neighbors who would otherwise
have to send their grapes to far-off labs for
testing. Today, she is the winemaker for the
vineyard. Marin’s experience and career path
demonstrate “there are different avenues to
get in,” she says. “Whether you want to do
chemistry or love to get your hands dirty
in the cellar, everyone’s job in the winery
is always appreciated.”
Born and raised in rural Iowa, Marj
Guyler-Alaniz graduated from Grand View
University with a bachelor’s degree in graphic
design, photography and journalism, and
immediately went to work in agriculture
for a crop insurance company. Inspired to
draw attention to the roles of women in
agriculture, she founded FarmHer, an online
social community for women farmers. She
now hosts the award-winning television show
“FarmHer on RFD-TV.” “I think showing
women who are successfully farming or
ranching plants a seed in the younger
generation,” Guyler-Alaniz says. “Younger
girls who are interested in getting into
agriculture or carrying on a family tradition
can see for themselves that they can do it.”
At a time when few women went to
college, let alone pursued a higher degree in a
scientific field, Mary-Dell Chilton, Ph.D., had
the curiosity and drive to bring about major
change. When one of her students turned
in a paper suggesting bacteria that caused a
common plant disease could actually transfer
a portion of its DNA to the afflicted plant,
Chilton thought his theory was wrong. In
the spirit of the scientific method, she tested
it and instead found her student’s theory to
be true. Her research laid the groundwork
for transforming how scientists conduct
plant genetic research. Her work in plant
biotechnology has significantly affected the
global agriculture industry. “I give young
people today the same advice I’ve given
throughout my career,” Chilton says. “Pursue
what you love and what fascinates you, and
the rest will follow.”
