Don't let me tell you that the Agriculture industry is a horrible industry because it's not it's amazing! In the past 20 years, the industry has been making leaps and bounds towards evolving. I've grown up in the Agriculture Field submerged in it and yet I still get asked these questions all the time.
1. “Aren’t you just going to be a housewife?”
We hear this one ALL the time, and trust me it has gotten old and every time we answer "NOPE" we get a whole other set of questions. "Are you sure?" "Do you want kids?" "Are you planning on getting married?" Let me just tell you now, YES I want kids, YES I want to get married but NO I will not give up my career to me a "housewife" because I can be a great mom while having a career that I have worked so hard for.
2. “Are you seriously wearing makeup?”
Yes, Yes I am and false lashes, too! But let's be honest how much or how little makeup I wear does not determine my skill set.
3. “If you’re not going to be a vet, what are you going to do?”
I'm sorry, is being a veterinarian the only agriculture career possible? I think not, the agriculture field is thriving with all sorts of jobs; agronomists, producers, communication specialists and yes farmers to and so many other careers.
4. “You don’t want to get those pretty hands dirty, do you?”
Oh, but I do. Yes I may have a well-manicured hand but don't you worry about me, because this girl knows how to get her hands dirty.
5. “Aren’t you just going to marry a farmer”
Maybe, but that's not the point. It's not about who I marry it's all about MY career.
Here are just a few examples of what us "ag girls" go through every day, but don't worry we're a lot stronger than we look.
