Women farm owners and managers take bigger roles
Jenny Scott helps run 1,000 acres of wheat and cattle in Kansas, joining about 16 percent of farm workers who are women. Experts note rising female enrollment in agriculture programs, but a shortage of qualified women persists in major agribusiness firms. Florence Dumler, 54, now runs 1,200 acres after her husband’s death, continuing the family farm as a full partner.
