[phone ringing] - Hey, it's Inga.
Hey, I got the tractor stuck behind the barn.
Can you give me a hand?
Okay, thanks; I'll see you soon.

- Julia, thank you so much for coming to save me.
- It's no problem.
Let's get this tractor out.

- Welcome to the farm!
And that's what it's all about,
women farmers helping each other out.
Gather with us, Around the Farm Table.
I'm your host, Inga Witscher.
Julia, thank you so much for coming here
and pulling me out.
- It's really no problem. [Inga laughing]
- So we have a lot in common.
We're both farm girls,
growing up on our parents' dairy farms,
doing hard work and chores.
And now we're both advocates for Wisconsin agriculture.
Today, I'm celebrating women's role in agriculture.
How do you see women as becoming the face of agriculture?
- I think that more women are becoming
the main workers on the farm.
And I think women have always been involved in agriculture.
And now more than ever, they're becoming more important.
And it's just something that is so awesome.
And women support each other so much,
especially in agriculture,
because we all just have the same goals.
We wanna create a environment where people know
where their food's coming from,
and they wanna trust the farmers that produce that food.
- Well, let's head on down to Green County,
where I'm gonna meet with a network of ladies
who are breaking the grass ceiling.
