Celebrating Women in Agriculture

Author: Regina Utz

Planning Unit: Trimble County CES

Major Program: Community Vitality and Leadership - ANR

Plan of Work: Enhance Life Skills and Build Consumer Awareness

Outcome: Initial Outcome

On March 7th, 2024, Regina Utz hosted the first Celebrating Women in Agriculture at the Trimble County Extension Office. The purpose of this event was to help encourage, educate, and introduce women throughout the county and surrounding areas. There are a lot of women getting more and more involved in agriculture. During this program, we had two speakers that talked about their journeys in agriculture. They spoke of hardships, goals, and how they overcome challenges to make themselves better.

There was a group of 24 women listening to our speakers from the community. After the meeting ended, we had a lot of positive feedback. The first person said, she was so excited to meet other women in the community who had similar interests as hers. She was new here and didn’t know how to start finding more information and people who could help her. After this meeting, she was able to connect with others.

This is a program that will be happening every year. The meeting had a great turn out and people are looking forward to it being back next year! It ties in with International Women’s Day and helps bring new people together.
