HUSA Feb 10 2026 - Year of the Woman Farmer

Did you know that February is 4-H Month, a whole month dedicated to celebrating the youth involved in the 4-H program. 4-H stands for Head, Hearts, Hands and Health, and creates opportunities for youth to grow skills in leadership and community service. Support your local 4-H programs.

And speaking of recognizing those who work hard, during this international year of the woman farmer, we are celebrating the women whose hands, knowledge and leadership shape farms and wrenches across the United States. Women are among the fastest growing groups of agricultural producers, managing operations large and small, adapting to drought, volatile markets, and changing consumer demands. They are decision makers, innovators and stewards of the land, balancing tradition with the new ideas to keep agriculture strong. Women farmers
are essential to agriculture and supporting rural communities. Their work doesn't just sustain today's agriculture, it ensures its future. Thank you to all the women in agriculture.

In a message from the National Association of Wheat Growers, you may have seen recent headlines about glyphosate testing reported recently in Florida. Well, here's some context. Even at the highest glyphosate levels reported recently in Florida, an adult would have to eat about 600 loaves of bread every day for life to reach the conservative safety limits set by the U.S. health authorities. Glyphosate residues are tightly regulated by EPA and routinely monitored by USDA and FDA. We'd farmers trust this science-based system because we feed our families the same food we grow. That's from the National Association of Wheat Growers. You can find all this information on our Harvest USA Report Facebook page. Go there today and follow Harvest USA Report on Facebook.
