Never be afraid to be the only woman in the room. A hard take in Australian Agriculture, but today, on the International Day of Rural Women, I’m reminded of how far women in agriculture have come, and how much things have changed for women who want to work on the land.

Work hard but also work smart. Keep up with what is happening around you. You don’t have to attend every meeting, workshop, etc., but you can always find out what is happening by staying in contact with others who do get to attend.
