University of Minnesota Extension 4-H spotlights the impact volunteers have on youth and their communities through the Salute to Excellence award and the Northern Lights honor.
In honor of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations 2026 International Year of the Woman Farmer, Extension shines a light on the essential roles women play to lead their farms and communities to success, even through tough times.
In honor of the International Year of the Woman Farmer, meet Rachel Arneson of Arneson Farms in Halstad, established in 1886. An agricultural leader, MARL participant, and an active first responder, Arneson shares her unique path to leading her family farm.

As Northwest CERT regional coordinator, she helps connect the region with clean energy opportunities.
