Women in the Agricultural Workplace Webinar, National

Agriculture has been stereotypically viewed as predominantly male, but female interest in agriculture has been steadily rising for the past several years. Female enrollment in agricultural 4-year programs has consistently remained above male enrollment since 2010 (Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources Enrollment and Outlook Report by AgCareers.com – 2013 Update).
