FarmHER + RanchHER returns for Season 8 on October 29 on RFD-TV, sharing the stories of seven women shaped by agriculture, family, resilience, and a passion for ranching. From first-generation ranchers building a legacy of their own to women carrying on family traditions and advocating for agriculture, this season celebrates the determination, challenges, and rewards of life on the land.
Meet the Women of FarmHER + RanchHER Season 8
Dayla Ulrich
With a little spunk and a whole lot of heart, Dayla shows us what happens when ranching becomes bigger than the work itself. Surrounded by a community that feels more like family, she finds joy in the people, the land, and the life they’re building together.
Chelsey Butterfield
Chelsea’s journey is anything but simple. A first-generation rancher, she opens up about the trials, triumphs, heartbreak, and happiness that come with building a life of her own—and what it took to lose herself before she could find her way back.
Amy Rhodes
Amy didn’t inherit a ranching legacy—she’s building one. As a first-generation rancher, she’s learning that the work can demand everything from you, but when you give it everything you have, this life has a way of giving something back.
Saydee Longhurst
For generations, Saydee’s family has worked the same land, raising wheat and hay and passing down more than just a way of life. In a world where the work never stops, Saydee discovers that the greatest strength of all may be the family standing beside you.
Kate Stephens
Kate is determined to change the way people see agriculture, one story at a time. Through her unapologetic advocacy and powerful presence online, she’s sparked a conversation that is reaching far beyond the fence line and creating a new kind of connection to the agricultural community.
Brittany Johnson
Losing her father changed Brittany’s life—and ultimately changed the direction she wanted to take it. As a first-generation rancher, she chooses to go all in, embracing the uncertainty, sacrifice, and freedom of building a ranching life from the ground up.
Janie VanWinkle
Janie was raised around generations of ranching, and she’s carrying that knowledge forward with plenty of spunk and grit of her own. From the land beneath her feet to the livestock in her care, there isn’t much she doesn’t know how to handle—and she knows exactly what it takes to keep a ranch moving.
