Young Ladies In Agriculture Forum

The Young Ladies In Agriculture Forum invites everyone in high school (individuals grades 8-12) and college interested in exploring future jobs in agriculture. Our goal is to bridge the gap between students interested in jobs in agriculture and professional women in agriculture. 

More information for this year's forum can be found below.
