Adair County has some of the best farmers in the state and most people are shocked when they find out just how many of those farmers are women. I grew up in a farm family and I'm proud to be raising my daughter and seeing my granddaughter raised as Kentucky Women of Agriculture.

WHEREAS: Kentucky has over 40,000 female farm operators that make up nearly one-fourth of all farm operations in the state; and
