Continues! 👯‍♀️ We love to see women supporting other women! Britt Hancock, Sheila Hancock’s daughter-in-law, submitted her for recognition for the International Year of the Woman promotion. Learning Sheila’s story demonstrates the perseverance and strength women have. 💪🏼 Thank you Britt for sharing!
From Britt Hancock: “Sheila was raised on a to***co farm and married a to***co farmer, and faced the typical tribulations of being a woman in a predominantly male dominated culture. However, she’s always been the most optimistic, kind, and hardworking person, woman or man, I have met. She faced a shifting industry with the [to***co] buyout in 2000, and inclusive of economical recessions, droughts, she has not only worked as needed on the farm, filling in gaps wherever needed, she has handled the managerial and financial aspect of Hancock Ag. But the biggest challenge by far was having to completely re-do our LLC formation due to circumstances out of her control. She practically reformed the entire business on her own, while having the confidence to ask for help when she needed it. Being able to ask for help when you really need it is a virtuous skill that Sheila practices with confidence.”
♥️ Maryland is lucky to have Sheila and her family as part of the farm family! Hancock Ag, LLC is in La Plata, Maryland in Charles County.
