Farm women are making a difference from coast to coast. RFD-TV will air a TV show produced by American Agri-Women for farm women on Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. EST, beginning Tuesday, Aug. 31. The show will repeat each week on Wednesdays at 11:30 a.m.

The American Agri-Women Show is a series by, for, and about farm and ranch women. In this half-hour series, AAW brings a weekly topic of concern to farm, ranch and agribusiness women and shares information about how to manage risk in agricultural operations. Each show features expert advice on that week's topic and includes a visit with a farm woman who is addressing that issue in her farming operation. Farm women from Oregon to North Carolina are featured on the show.

AAW President Chris Wilson said, "It's been our goal to bring programming to farm and ranch women throughout the country. We are very grateful to RFD-TV President Patrick Gottsch for making this dream a reality, and we are excited to be part of this great network."

Topics include marketing your commodities; evaluating new enterprises, such as agritourism; promoting agriculture; agricultural labor issues; educating students and policymakers about agriculture; managing risk through crop insurance; business planning; accessing farm credit; and resources for women in agriculture. The series is sponsored by the Risk Management Agency of the USDA. The host is award-winning farm broadcaster and AAW member Kathy Patton Strunk.
