Women are essential to Idaho farms and ranches, and a new University of Idaho online survey explores opportunities and challenges they face. The “Women Farmers and Ranchers on the Rise in Idaho” project is open to women involved in agriculture across the state. U of I officials said this project is the first of its kind in the Gem State. School officials say the responses will help them better understand not only how many women are involved in farming, but how Extension can offer better assistance and support.

The project is funded by a grant from NIFA.

The survey remains open until April 30th and is available in both English and Spanish. Click Here to participate in the on-line survey.
