#33: In today’s episode of Cow Girl Talk, we’re thrilled to welcome two incredible women in agriculture, Amanda Borkowski and Katelin Benkoski! As fellow women in the dairy industry, we’re diving into a topic that has shaped all of our careers—the power of networking and building meaningful relationships.

With a smaller number of women in the industry, finding a supportive community can make all the difference. Today, Amanda, Katelin, Emily and Becca will share personal stories, experiences, and insights on how we’ve navigated these challenges and built connections that have empowered them professionally and personally.

We’ll cover:
