Columbus, Ohio (September 28, 2009) -- The Ohio Farm Women Consortium, whose founders include representatives of Ohio State University Extension and Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, and Sharon D. Sachs, Ph.D. decided it is time to conduct a formal study of Ohio farm women, not an academic study but a study of women farmers by women farmers. A team of volunteers comprising women farmers and advocates of women farmers is assisting to launch the study. Sachs, who has been working with Ohio women farmers since 2004, thinks the study will answer many questions she hears women farmers asking about each other.
