Syngenta teams up with RFD-TV for a second season of “FarmHer”
“We are proud to continue our support of the FarmHer movement,” said Wendell Calhoun, communications manager at Syngenta. “The television show is a great way to showcase some of the amazing women in our company and industry and the impact they make every day to shape agriculture and our world. The first season was a resounding success, and we’re looking forward to what the team has to offer for season two.”
During the show’s inaugural season, viewers had the opportunity to meet women from across the country who contribute to agriculture in invaluable ways. Marji Guyler-Alaniz, the show’s host and founder of the FarmHer movement, visited more than 43 farms, ranches and agricultural labs. Through photography, video and interviews, she gave viewers a glimpse into the lives of some of the women who make up more than 30 percent of the farming workforce. Guyler-Alaniz and her team have already begun traveling the country from coast to coast, visiting FarmHers to be featured in season two.
“The diversity of operations and the women who are an integral part of them will continue to expand,” Guyler-Alaniz said. “We’ll take viewers inside a working ranch, then to a whitetail deer farm. We’ll travel from the green mountains and grapes of northern California to Florida, where we’ll visit an almost 90-year-old rancher. In Iowa, we’ll experience a large herd of wild horses and a small greenhouse operation. I can’t wait to continue our FarmHer journey with the RFD-TV audience in season two.”
The Syngenta #RootedinAg Spotlight segment will also be returning in season two with a focus on the women who have inspired others to follow their dreams.
