When they couldn't find one, they decided to create their own and launched the Border North East Women in Ag (WAGs) group, which will hold its first networking event on Wednesday.

Miss Kemp, who grew up on a Queensland cattle station, said the event would showcase women working in the industry and their various careers.

"It's an opportunity to connect with women in the region and to celebrate women in the ag industry," she said.

"Hopefully later the group can be about advocating for women in ag and showing the opportunities there are for women as well as helping young people get back into agriculture."

Miss Kemp moved to Albury to work in agribusiness at ANZ and wants the group to foster a strong community.

"I've grown up around the agriculture industry," she said.

"And you go to things and it's always men there and while they're great and welcoming, it is harder for women to get recognition and be in that space.

"It's a traditionally more male industry where the challenge for women is to break into that, we all bring our own quirks so [an industry] is best when we all band together, men and women."

Henty's Miss Bourke, who works alongside Miss Kemp, said the group also aims to show the diversity of jobs in the ag industry and encourage people who didn't grow up on farms to consider the industry.

She said they were hoping to get 30 or 40 people to the event, but interest had exceeded their expectations with about 60 people expected on Wednesday.

"It's obviously something different, there hasn't been this type of event for the ag industry before," she said.

Miss Kemp said the response to the inaugural event was fantastic and they hoped to have meetings quarterly.
