About Shelby
Words from the farmer’s daughter
Agriculture has always been a foundational aspect of my life. I grew up on a family farm in Southwest Nebraska that has been passed down through the generations. There we raise dry-land corn, wheat, grain sorghum and Angus cattle. Ever since my childhood I have learned life lessons through the daily challenges, responsibilities and joys of production agriculture by working alongside my parents and three brothers. It was through my years on the farm that I discovered my passion for production agriculture, and even more so for the people it involves.
Being a college student means being constantly bombarded with the canned question – what do you want to do after college? I’ve announced my plans so many times that my reply now flows out with no hesitation – communicate about agriculture. This response typically leads to a puzzled look followed by further rounds of questions, to which I will offer the requested details. Some people roll their eyes or make the joke “what are you going to report about the cows?” I’ll simply reply with a grin, “Yes! I sure am.”
I have now graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in Agricultural Communication and Journalism and hope to find that perfect career that will allow me to cultivate my passion for communications and agriculture. I have been blessed with many wonderful people and experiences throughout my life that continue to shape me into the person I am. I will forever be grateful for the countless opportunities and support I have received from so many.
