Farmerettes

The Woman's Land Army of America brought more than 20,000 women to rural America to take over farm work when men were called to service during WW I. Many of these women had never worked on a farm before, but they soon plowed fields, drove tractors, and planted and harvested crops. The Land Army's "farmerettes" were paid wages equal to male farm laborers, and Billings Farm, like many farms across America, came to rely upon the women workers.
