YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – In Tuesday’s Home Grown report, we highlight Martha Ryan, a local woman who works in the agriculture industry.
Martha Ryan is the Farm Spray and Planting Department Manager for JV Farms.
She has been working in agriculture since she was 18 and has been a part of the planting team for almost three years.
Ryan says she has been around farming her whole life, and is proud of what she does.
“As a Latina woman in agriculture, I am proud to represent women in this industry, and show that passion and dedication can take you very far. I truly love what I do and wouldn’t have it any other way,” says Ryan.
She says she is also proud to follow in her father’s footsteps and make Yuma home.
