The National Farm Medicine Center funded a project to describe the personal circumstances, concerns, and needs of women who operate, co-operate, and/or live on dairy farms, estimate the proportion of women who have these concerns, and depict their assessment of concerns in order to promote and facilitate a better understanding of those concerns and needs. The ultimate goal of this project is for those who counsel farm women or develop programs for them so they will have a better understanding of farm women’s lives and the challenges they face, and be better able to meet their needs.
