(l-r) Rotary President Dave Anderson with Sue Poland from California Women in Agriculture. The Rotary speaker last week was Sue Poland from California Women in Agriculture (CWA). CWA began in Ventura County in 1976, by Kay Wilson-Bolton and Carol Leavens. The mission is for California agriculture to be protected for future generations by educating consumers, policy makers and their members. They have a strong commitment to education and agricultural awareness. Some of their activities are Farm Day where they go to a school and bring farm animals to educate students, Ag in the Classroom which informs teachers about Ag and how they can incorporate it into lessons, and they have a booth at the Ventura County Fair to educate the public. The main focus is on what we all have in common—we all eat food! Where does it come from? Who grows it? What all is involved in the process of California farming and how can it continue for generations to come? Photo credit Rotarian Martha Richardson.
