Today’s guest is someone who has dedicated her voice, her platform, and heart to celebrating women in agriculture.
Katelyn Duban is a first-generation grain farmer in southern Alberta, Canada, and the host of The Rural Woman Podcast. After marrying into her husband’s multi-generational farm in 2016, Katelyn traded city life for rural life—learning how to drive tractors, run equipment, and fall in love with the land. But along the way, she also realized something was missing: a place to hear the stories of women in agriculture, told by women in agriculture.
In 2019, she launched The Rural Woman Podcast, and since then, she’s shared hundreds of conversations with farmers, ranchers, and ag professionals—earning over half a million downloads and building a global community of women who feel a little less alone because of her work.
In this episode, we talk about her journey from desk job to farm life, the challenges and triumphs of starting something from scratch, and why storytelling is such a powerful tool of connection. Katelyn’s authenticity, warmth, and commitment to lifting others up make her someone you can’t help but root for!
Let’s get dirty with Katelyn.
