American Agri Women Launch 2025 Fly In

Registration is now open for the 2025 American Agri-Women (AAW) Fly-In, set to take place from June 8 to 10 in Washington, D.C. This annual event invites individuals passionate about agriculture to join in advocating for rural America and sustainable farming policies.

Each year, the Fly-In brings together women from across the country to raise their voices in support of sound agricultural practices. Participants attend high-level briefings, meet with congressional leaders, and engage with federal agencies such as the USDA and the EPA. The goal is to provide a platform for grassroots agricultural leaders to speak directly to policymakers.

“The AAW Fly-In is where our voices come together to speak for the future of agriculture,” said Chrissy Wozniak, AAW Vice President of Communications. “It’s not only a chance to be heard, but also to connect with others who share the same purpose—to protect and promote American agriculture for generations to come.”

Attendees will also have the opportunity to take part in roundtable discussions with federal agency leaders and enjoy a cultural experience through a scheduled embassy tour. A special Congressional Reception, sponsored by Ecorobotix, will honor leaders who support agriculture.

Participants are encouraged to schedule meetings with their own Senate and House representatives to make their voices heard on critical agricultural issues.

The event will be hosted at The Morrow Washington DC, Curio Collection by Hilton, located near Capitol Hill. Special room rates are available for Fly-In attendees.

This Fly-In serves as a valuable opportunity for agricultural advocates to shape national discussions and ensure the future of farming and rural communities remains strong. More information, including registration and hotel details, is available on the official AAW website.

Video: Women in Ag. The Promotion of Female Farmers through Social Media | Madalyn Thayer | TEDxBGSU

Less than 1% of Americans are farmers. The majority of those farmers are men. Many people have minimal experience with farms and agriculture. High schools are getting rid of their FFA programs and many colleges, including BGSU, do not have agricultural programs or classes. There is a new social media phenomenon where women are making content based on their farming endeavors and gaining lots of traction. Education is the one of the most important parts of agriculture, because the more people know the more they will emphasize with farmers and create policy that benefits everybody. Female farmers have taken to social media sharing their experience in the agricultural world. These women are breaking stereotypes and educating everyday citizens about farming which is extremely important for the future of agriculture. Madalyn is 19 years old and will be gradated with her bachelors degree in communication on December 2024. She lives on a farm and have spent lots of time working in agriculture. She has her own farmers market and love learning about all subjects, especially agriculture. She was on the BGSU Firelands Student government from 2021-2023 as a CCP Ambassador and was awarded the 3&1 communication excellency award in April of 2024. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
