The 2025 Women in Ag Award winners

AFSC’s Women in Ag Awards celebrate the women who are helping shape the future of agriculture in Alberta. Their leadership is driving change, their resilience is building stronger communities, and their dedication is inspiring the next generation. 

This year’s Women in Ag Award recipients are breaking down barriers, setting new expectations and bringing fresh ideas and practices to the agriculture industry. Together, they remind us of the power of mentorship, innovation, and community in shaping the future of this industry.

The 2025 Women in Ag Awards were presented during The Notables, a special reception on March 16 in Calgary. The event was held in conjunction with the 2025 Advance Women in Agriculture West Conference.

California Farm Bureau 2025 Farm Dog of the Year Contest Winner - Willy - CAFB 107th Annual Meeting

Meet Willy: California Farm Bureau’s 2025 Farm Dog of the Year!

We’re excited to introduce Willy, a miniature long-haired dachshund with a big heart and even bigger courage, and the Grand Prize winner of this year’s Farm Dog of the Year Contest!

Willy may be small, but he’s become an indispensable partner on owner Marshal Hagedorn’s forestry and cattle operations in Shasta, Tehama, and Siskiyou counties. Adopted in 2023, he quickly found his place on the ranch, helping manage critters, tagging along for long days in the woods, and offering unwavering companionship during demanding logging work.

Willy has even taken naturally to moving cattle, surprising calves (and more than a few full-grown cows!) with his burst of energy from the tall grass. As Marshal put it: “He goes with me everywhere every single day.”

Congratulations to Willy and his family, a perfect example of how every good farm dog, no matter the size, helps keep California agriculture running strong.
