96 women from across the state gathered for the annual Women’s Leadership Conference in St. Augustine. The conference featured Natalie Kovarik, the co-host of the popular podcast Discover Ag.
In addition to a dynamic keynote speaker, the 2025 conference provided women with a unique opportunity to grow in their leadership skills, learn how to become stronger advocates for agriculture and showcase diverse farming operations like Diamond D Ranch.
“Our Farm Bureau women had a great time learning together and from each other,” said Mitzi Lucas, programs coordinator for the Florida Farm Bureau Federation. “In today’s world, it is crucial women in agriculture are given tools to grow and become better leaders, both on and off the farm.”
Women’s committees from 18 counties were awarded the Activity Award at the conference. Those counties include Okaloosa, Wakulla, Columbia, Jefferson, Lafayette, Madison, Suwannee, Taylor, Alachua, Gilchrist, Marion, Baker, Bradford, Clay, Duval, Nassau, Putnam/St. Johns and Union.
