Early last spring President Obama announced the formation of a White House Council on Women & Girls. The mission of the White House Council on Women and Girls is to ensure that every part of the federal government takes into account the needs of women and girls in the policies we draft, the programs we create, the legislation we support.

One thing I've been wondering about proposing to this new Council... Given the increasing numbers of women farmers why doesn't USDA open an office of women's affairs to help monitor the needs of women farmers and modify USDA programs to be more user-friendly to this group of deserving women.
What will you propose?
