female farmers

We caught up with Terissa Angel, a goat wrangling farmer who, with her husband Daniel, is battling the flood on their property situated at “the back of Bourke”. A fascinating insight to station life.

This week we launched our online private Facebook group “Not so secret women’s business” - a safe place to share, connect and keep shit real, as we trawl our way through our middle ages. There’s nothing better than the words of wisdom and the supportive  ear of women who are experiencing, or have experienced what we live on a daily basis.

We also touch on the perils of on line dating and a few hot topics of the week.  And as always, we laugh like dickheads at our own jokes.

Last week, the USDA's NASS released the results of the 2017 Census of Agriculture, the first count in over five years of U.S. farms and ranches and the people who run them. What do we know now about the state of agriculture in this country? Lindsey talks with Erin Foster West, Young Farmers' federal policy director, about the rise in female farmers, decrease in farmers of color, and what the 6.4 million data points mean for the future of farming.
