Emmy Armstrong of Greene County Graduates from 22nd AFBF Women’s Communications Boot Camp

Emmy Armstrong, a farmer in Greene County, graduated from the spring session of Women's Communications Boot Camp hosted by the American Farm Bureau Federation.

Armstrong was one of fifteen farm women leaders who completed the intensive four-day course that featured hands-on sessions focused on public speaking, working with media and messaging. Armstrong and the other graduates will use their training to strategically support Farm Bureau's priority issues. This includes participating in local media opportunities, sharing information with elected officials and joining social media campaigns that spotlight modern agriculture.

"Strong agricultural advocacy is more important than ever for agriculture and Farm Bureau is proud to help our members become fantastic ambassadors," said AFBF President Zippy Duvall. "It's a pleasure to recognize the farm and ranch leaders who stepped up to complete this elite training. We congratulate them as they drive forward on their leadership journey."

This is the 22nd Boot Camp hosted by AFBF. The program has 328 graduates and is open to all women involved in Farm Bureau. The American Farm Bureau Women's Leadership Committee, in partnership with AFBF staff, hosts and provides training for Women's Communications Boot Camp biannually. Applications open in June for the 2025 fall session of Boot Camp.
