According to Barnes County Extension Agent Alicia Harstad, there aren’t that many barriers for women in agriculture today. That’s because of the work of the women that went down the road before her. “I really appreciate all of the things that other women have done,” said Harstad. “It’s interesting, one (female) county agent retired not long ago who literally had been one of the only female Extension agents. Now we have a lot of female Extension agents so a lot of things have changed in agriculture; you now see more women everywhere in agriculture.” Click here to watch the interview.
