I think I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. Business must be good at Brownfield. They’ve just added a new farm broadcaster and friend of mine, Julie Harker.

“We are excited to welcome Julie to the Brownfield team,” said Brownfield Farm Director Cyndi Young. “Her tremendous journalistic skill set and ability to communicate effectively to any group will help us further our mission to tell the story of agriculture to a broader audience.” Julie Harker was born in Chicago but grew up in the Missouri Ozarks. She came into radio in college where she got a job as an announcer at KSMU, a campus radio station at Missouri State University. She interned at KTTS, in Springfield, Mo., then moved to northwest Arkansas where she worked in local radio. Her radio path led her back to Missouri where she became a news writer at a station in Branson. That led her to Learfield, where for seven years she was an anchor/reporter with the Missourinet and for the past nine years has been a writer/editor for Learfield Data.

Okay, Cyndi. How many are on your team now?
