International Year of the Woman Farmer

U.S. Dairy Export Council

In recognition of 2026 being the United Nations International Year of the Woman Farmer, the U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC) is pleased to launch a podcast, Voices from the Barn.

Hosted by USDEC President and CEO, Krysta Harden, this podcast features conversations with dairy women farmers from across the U.S. and around the world. These women share their stories, challenges, accomplishments and so much more.

“Dairy farming is a tough industry, but these women are committed to producing the most nourishing, high-quality dairy products for their families and consumers around the world to enjoy,” Harden said. “It’s a joy and an honor to talk with these leaders and learn more about their lives, struggles and what they juggle on a daily basis.” We’ll be sharing monthly episodes throughout 2026 in celebration of this initiative.

Here are other organizations celebrating women in the dairy industry:
