@JohnDeere Unfortunately also out of stock on amazon (US and Canada) but glad to know there is ONE toy with a female farmer.

[TheNutritionBabe @TheNutrBabe]

[TheNutritionBabe @TheNutrBabe]

@JudiBundrock @JohnDeere Apparently! They even emailed @JohnDeere about where/how to get a female farmer and received no response. Luckily they found one, even if it isn't 100% compatible with the tractors/combines/gators.... #genderequality

NEW from @decustecu and I at @PLOSONE:
