Women Encouraged to Advocate for Agriculture This Election Season

With the midterm election season looming this year, it's an important time for advocacy for women in agriculture. Farm Bureau shares why and how you can get involved.
The American Farm Bureau Federation is encouraging farm women to get involved in political advocacy as the next election cycle nears. Isabella Chism, Chair of the AFBF Women's Leadership Committee, says there are many opportunities for women to get involved.
Some of the possibilities would be as simple as inviting a candidate out to your farm. That's always a good way to get your foot in the door. Some of the other things that I think some people often forget about is supporting a candidate that you believe in. But one of the things that I like to suggest is use your comfortable space. I know that there are some women that are more comfortable in a classroom with young children, and so something that they could do would be to invite a candidate to read one of our agriculture books in a classroom.
