Ernst Celebrates Women in Agriculture

U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, joined her colleagues to designate 2026 as International Year of the Woman Farmer.

“Having grown up on a family farm, I understand how women are the backbone of American agriculture,”said Ernst. “Whether hearing firsthand from female farmers on my River to River tour or on the Senate ag committee, it’s inspiring to see ladies stepping up and carrying on our great rural traditions.
