Rural Woman’s Month:
Female producers state that “rural” is a vague term. March has been proclaimed Rural Woman’s month, but what does that mean?
“Growing up on their family’s farm south of Regina, Mary and Katelyn never thought about what a woman’s role on the farm was.”
“I think from a young age, we weren’t put into a box of what we should and shouldn’t be doing,” Duncan said.
Farming Provides Confidence to Women:
“I think we were seen as a worker. A butt in the seat in the combine. So, I think having that open mind and opportunity to fill that role on our farming operation really gave us a lot of confidence.”
