Amanda Kimes, who was introduced to FFA through an animal science class at Sutherlin High School, discovered a passion for agriculture and leadership. Under the guidance of her FFA advisor, Amanda engaged in various career and leadership development activities, which instilled in her a strong sense of accountability and resilience. These foundational experiences were instrumental when Amanda and her husband, Matt, established Kimes Ranch. What began as a single jeans style has grown into a prominent Western-themed apparel brand.

What an incredible experience attending and speaking at the Women in Agribusiness conference.

From insightful keynotes to workshops, the discussions around sustainability, innovation, and leadership were truly eye-opening. Special thanks to the organizers and all the speakers who shared their knowledge and passion. I left feeling more motivated than ever to push the boundaries of what’s possible in agribusiness! Looking forward to applying these insights and continuing to collaborate with such a dynamic community. #WomenInAg #Agribusiness #Leadership #Sustainability #Innovation #Networking #FutureOfAg
