Grassland Farmgirls Honored in Kansas

Kansas Farmgirl Betty Bonjour and her daughter Jessica just won a grassland award for their brand of rotational farming at Double B Ranch. Betty operates a 150-head cow-calf herd and five registered quarter horses. Jessica tells the Marysville Advocate that farming has been her dream since she graduated from high school. And her Farmgirl mother is thrilled to have her daughter by her side. “It gives me a lot of peace of mind and faith that my daughter is so devoted to the farm,” Betty says. The article notes that the farmgirls do all the farm work, including “fencing, cutting trees, calving, moving cattle from pasture to pasture, banding and vaccinations.”
