Ms. Heim is presently looking for participants for the study – participants should identify as a woman, as a primary or secondary operator of a farm for the Ag Census, and live on the farm or nearby.

Participants will contribute to general knowledge about women farmers in the Commonwealth in the twenty-first century.
