Julie Harker has been covering ag news for Brownfield since 2007. She has covered agriculture events in her home state of Missouri and beyond – from Washington, D.C. to Germany – to tell the story of agriculture. She produces a daily consumer education program, Healthy Living, aimed at informing consumers about food and nutrition, striving to dispel commonly held misconceptions about them.
Some of her most meaningful interviews, she says, are the stories of heartache and resilience directly from farmers and ranchers going through tremendous challenges.
Julie is the recipient of the National Farmers Union’s Milt Hakel Award for Excellence in Ag Journalism and several awards for ag news and market reporting from the National Association of Farm Broadcasting.
She has worked in the news division of Brownfield’s parent company, Learfield Communications, for 25 years and is a voice listeners rely on.
