Agriculture is a world that isn’t going away. Without agriculture you wouldn’t have food, you wouldn’t have clothes on your back. So it’s something that’s here to stay. Looking around the agriculture world, it’s so exciting. The opportunities are absolutely endless and the technology advancements are amazing.

I am proud to be a woman in ag and Instagram has opened me up to so many other powerful women in ag. And it is so fun to see these girls who are making a name for themselves out in the ag world.

It’s not easy building a brand in the ag world and you’ve got to really build trust with farmers, and rightfully so. It’s been a learning curve putting my business out there in a way that they’ll trust me. It takes time.
