Illinois Agri-Women (IAW) is pleased to announce that its bid to host the American Agri-Women (AAW) National Convention and Annual Meeting in November 2025 in central Illinois has been accepted by the American Agri-Women at the recent convention in Sacramento, California. Tours, workshops, and celebration of the wide variety of Illinois record breaking corn and soybean production and growing specialty crops and agriculture tourism will be offered.
The American Agri-Women is the nation’s largest coalition of farm, ranch and agribusiness women with more than 50 state, commodity and agribusiness affiliate organizations. The members are united to communicate with one another and with other consumers to promote agriculture. AAW members, including farmers, ranchers, producers, other agriculture business professionals, educators, consumers, students, and researchers, have been advocating for agriculture since 1974.
American Agri-Women officially began November 14, 1974, founded by four state women’s agriculture groups which had formed: Women for the Survival of Agriculture in Michigan; Wisconsin Women for Agriculture; Oregon Women for Agriculture; and the Washington Women for the Survival of Agriculture. Kansas Agri-Women (then United Farm Wives of Kansas) and Illinois Agri-Women (then the Illinois Women for Agriculture) joined soon thereafter.
