Iowa State University Extension and Outreach’s Women in Ag Program has opened nominations for the annual Women Impacting Agriculture recognition. This honor celebrates women across Iowa who have made significant contributions to the agricultural industry and their communities.

The Women Impacting Agriculture recognition highlights women who demonstrate leadership, innovation and a passion for the future of agriculture. Nominees may be involved in production agriculture, agribusiness, education, conservation, policy or advocacy. Their impact can be felt through their work on farms, in classrooms and boardrooms, and across the broader agricultural landscape.

“We are excited to celebrate the dedication, leadership and resilience of women who are shaping the future of agriculture in Iowa,” said Madeline Schultz, program manager, ISU Extension and Outreach Women in Ag Program. “Their stories inspire others and reflect the important role women play in sustaining and growing the agricultural economy.”
