The number of women in farming is on the rise.
The 2017 U.S. Census of Agriculture, which has been surveying the gender, race and ethnic origin of principal farm operators since 2007, reported more than 36% of American farmers are women. Twenty-nine percent are principal operators, and 78% of all female producers are involved in daily decisions.
In Virginia, female farmers are involved with 23,575 farms, and they are principal operators of 16,456 of them.
Joanne Jones, who manages Dark Leaf Farm in Appomattox County, is one of them.
âI feel like women always have played more of a role than whatâs been recognized,â she said.
