USDA Women's Land Army

The USDA Women's Land Army was a program during World War II that encouraged women to join agricultural work to support food production while men served in the military. It aimed to boost farm labor, maintain food supplies, and boost morale. Women took on roles such as planting, harvesting, and managing farms, helping sustain the nation's economy and food security during wartime. The initiative highlighted women's vital contributions to agriculture and national efforts, paving the way for increased recognition of women in the workforce.
