 “Every year we’re so impressed by the nominations we receive, and all that these women do for their families and their communities” said Jessica Rommel, Monsanto’s Business Communications Manager. “This year we were thrilled to expand our program to honor ten moms who make great contributions to agriculture.”

Since the program began in 2010, the America’s Farmers Mom of the Year program has recognized more than 50 exceptional individuals.
