Building Community in Agriculture, Laura Daniels and Dairy Girl Network
In the world of agriculture, where the challenges are as vast as the fields themselves, building community in agriculture that are strong is essential. Laura Daniels, the founder of Dairy Girl Network, understands this better than most. Her journey from a young girl who fell in love with cows on her family’s dairy farm to the leader of a nationwide organization supporting women in dairy is a testament to the power of connection and collaboration.
The Birth of Dairy Girl Network
Dairy Girl Network was born from Laura’s desire to create a space where women in the dairy industry could find support, share experiences, and learn from one another. What began as a small networking event has grown into a thriving community offering conferences, virtual programs, and educational opportunities tailored to meet women where they are in their agricultural journeys. Today, Dairy Girl Network stands as a beacon of support for dairy women, fostering growth and resilience in an industry that often demands both.
