WOMEN IN AG PROFILES In addition to her mom and late grandmother, Wysocki was inspired by some of the women working on neighboring farms in her area and a female food safety director who served as something of a mentor to her. " I often confide with women in the industry and find that everyone likes to help fellow farmers; your neighbor isn't your competitor, and we all hope to see other farmers win, " she said. " I am there for other women who need support and have found a great support system for myself. " One of Wysocki's favorite parts of what she does is teaching people where their food comes from. " For any women who want to do this, I just say to be confident and pray about it; if it wasn't for my faith, I couldn't do it, " she said. " Even though it can be hard, the outcome is so worth it. For me, there's nothing better than seeing people come to pick blueberries and see them make core memories at the farm.
