Rose Tryon is the current president of American Agri-Women, an advocacy group devoted to amplifying the voices and the efforts of the many women involved in agribusiness. She and her husband also survived the 2018 fire that destroyed much of Paradise, CA, including their own home. But instead of simply rebuilding and moving on, Rose channeled her experience in advocacy into action. She told us her story at the 2025 World Ag Expo in Tulare, CA.
