Season three starts this week
Episodes to include Syngenta #RootedinAg Spotlights featuring the next generation of FarmHers

Season three of “FarmHer on RFD-TV” starts Friday, with Syngenta U.S. returning as the presenting sponsor. Syngenta has been the presenting sponsor since the inaugural season of the award-winning show.

“At Syngenta, we understand that a diverse mix of age, gender, experience and background will lead to a more successful agricultural industry,” said Wendell Calhoun, communications manager at Syngenta. “The FarmHer team does a great job demonstrating the value of this diversity, and we are proud to continue our support of the FarmHer movement.”

For two seasons, viewers have had the opportunity to meet women from across the country and learn about each of their unique contributions to the agriculture industry. The third season will be no different. Marji Guyler-Alaniz, the show’s host and founder of the FarmHer movement, has now visited more than 50 farms, ranches and agricultural labs. Through photography, video and interviews, she has given viewers a glimpse into the lives of some of the women who make up more than 30 percent of the farming workforce.

“We have a goal to visit all 50 states to demonstrate the great things women are doing all across the country,” Guyler-Alaniz said. “In season three, we’ll take viewers to a rice farm with a focus on sustainability, then visit with a FarmHer who raises alpacas for custom textiles. We’ll talk to a woman who supports ag policy in D.C., and visit with an agronomist in California. I can’t wait to continue our FarmHer journey with the RFD-TV audience in season three.”

Video: Agriculture Secretary Rollins Speaks at American Farm Bureau Federation Convention in Anaheim

One of the highlights at the 2026 American Farm Bureau Federation Convention in Anaheim, California, was an address by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins. During her remarks, she thanked America’s farmers and ranchers and said the Trump Administration is fully aware that food security is national security.

She also acknowledged the challenging times in Farm Country with low commodity prices and high input costs and said that’s why the President stepped in to help with the recent Bridge Assistance Program.

Montana Farm Bureau Federation Executive Vice President Scott Kulbeck says that Farm Bureau members are appreciative of the help and looks forward to working with the American Farm Bureau Federation and its presence in Washington, DC to keep farmers and ranchers in business.

Secretary Rollins said the Trump Administration is also committed to helping ranchers build back America’s cattle herd while also providing more high-quality U.S. beef at the meat case for consumers.

And she also announced more assistance for specialty crop producers who only received a fraction of the $12 billion Farmer Bridge Assistance (FBA).

It’s important to note that producers who qualify for Farmer Bridge Assistance can expect the Farm Service Agency to start issuing payments in late February. For more information, farmers and ranchers are encouraged to contact their local USDA Service Center.
