Gabrielle Roesch-McNally We've always known that women have an important role, but they've often been a bit invisible. They've been doing the books. They've been caring for the family, been doing a lot of things to support the farm business, but in a way that a lot of times people haven't always seen them as the farmer or as a central decision maker. Our program challenges that notion and says we know that women are important. They're critical decision makers. — Gabrielle Roesch-McNally Learn more about the Women in Agribusiness Summit, at womeninag.com/events.
