Second-generation Mississippi farmer Anna Rhinewalt has embraced her role in her family’s sweet potato and soybean operation, Sandy Ridge Farms, expanding it alongside her father, brother, and husband. Her dedication to preserving her family’s farming legacy and improving local agriculture earned her the 2024 Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation Farm Woman of the Year title.
Anna leverages her expertise as a marketing and communications graduate to serve as a passionate advocate for agriculture at the state and national levels — while also managing the farm’s marketing, employee training, and shipping.
Congratulations on this amazing honor, Anna!
