Title: Women's Voices in the 2007 Farm Bill-- Please respond
>>>>My defining moment in the women's
ag movement came at the same conference where Cheryl spoke. This
particular conference had a pre-conference the day before that was only open to
women. After listening to how it was a lovely program and this large
regional organization should put on more such conferences, I asked my dining
table mates how it would be if a conference would be staged where only men could
attend? <<<<
Can you imagine? We'd be screaming our heads off, and rightfully
so. I attended the Women In Sustainable Ag conference in Vermont last
month. Men were welcome. They presented and also
networked. One of the best conversations I had during the conference
was with a male farmer who just finished his second growing season. It's a
shame to shut people out based on their sex.
One of the most beneficial things to come from the WISA conference was
the boost many new and aspiring women farmers got by networking with other women
farmers. I heard a lot of them saying, "I can Do that!"
