Farm women seek recognition
By SHERYL NIXON
PENHOLD - The old say-ing
that " women's work is
never done," takes on a differ-enttwistonthefarm
.
" We've never had to strug-gle
for our share of the work,"
Faye Mayberry says with an
ironic smile.
" But the work we do is un-dervalued
and under- recog-nized
."
The many hours of unpaid
labor that women contribute to
family farm operations is a
major concern that needs to be
addressed by governments and
financial institutions, says the
45- year- old who chairs the Al-berta
Farm Women's Network.
" We're told we don't work,'
Mrs . Maybeerry says. " If a
woman is not a farmer in her
own right - in terms of own-ing
land and so on - it's not
very easy for her to get a bank
loan."
The umbrella group she
heads is doing a survey to
document the work women do
on farms . Calling it " a labor of
love only," the network asked
its members to keep track of
the work they do for three
months . That includes farm
chores, running equipment,
handling livestock, " gopher-ing,"
bookkeeping, child care
and involvement in agricul-tnralnrPanizations
