The Center for Rural Innovation held its annual Eagle Works competition on April 18, 2020, and a special congratulations goes to Agriculture student Annalicia Larsen for winning the Rural Reimagined award of $2,500 for the innovative idea that could most impact rural communities! Annalicia's 鈥淲orking Women Design Co.鈥� provides pants specifically designed for working women that are both functional and trendy.

Annalicia found her inspiration to design pants through her struggle to find ones that she liked to wear while working on her family鈥檚 farm growing up. She states, 鈥淛ust because I鈥檓 in Agriculture doesn鈥檛 mean I can鈥檛 have cute and trendy clothes on. Women have always been in Agriculture, but it鈥檚 getting more popular! My overall goal is to serve these women and give them clothes they love to work in.鈥� Rural Reimagined sees a bright future of impacting rural through Working Women Design Co. Wings up, Annalicia! Stay tuned for upcoming stories and updates!
