Our Team Vision

The Purdue Women in Agriculture Team​ is committed to providing educational opportunities, current resources and a network of support to position all women for success in the agriculture industry through skill development, confident decision making and personal well being.​​​​​​

The Purdue Women in Agriculture Team is composed of Extension Educators and industry representatives.  They coordinate and offer a wide variety of programs and events throughout the year.  Programs usually relate to one of the five main areas of risk management.  Those areas include production, marketing, financial, legal, and human risk.
