Facing FarmHers - Marji Guyler-Alaniz

$\"\"$

The journey from farm to table begins with farmers, or perhaps FarmHers. When most people imagine the farmer behind their food they automatically picture men; but what about those unknown faces of Women? Marji Guyler-Alaniz recognized that women in Agriculture are overlooked and decided to do something about it. Today she is sharing the faces and the stories of the Women who too often are out of sight and out of mind. She has created FarmHer to spotlight these women of agriculture through her FarmHer TV series (Friday at 9:30 pm ET on RFD-TV), website, blogs, seminars, speaking engagements, social media and incredible photographs. She joins Farm to Table Talk to share her own journey and what she is learning from the feminine faces of farming. First we need to recognize that FarmHers are there and then support them as they grow and prosper in what has been too long perceived as a man\’s world in Agriculture. FarmHer.com
