Janice Person is a member of Monsanto’s corporate engagement team doing outreach both within agriculture and broadly with society. She is based at the company’s headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri. She has the opportunity to work with a wide range of farmers, foodies and bloggers to help connect more with members of the general public to increase the understanding of agriculture and the company specifically.   Through her career in and her personal passion for agriculture, she has had the chance to visit a wide range of farms where they grow everything from almonds to zucchini. 

Greater connectivity in real life and social media provides a great way to both learn and share experiences in ways that can help people better understand agriculture broadly. She is one of the founders of the farmer-led AgChat Foundation which seeks to empower farmers to tell their stories online and remains active with the organization’s programs. 
Outside of work, Janice enjoys travel, including farm visits, and creative arts like photography and pottery.

Having grown up a city girl, Janice became involved in agriculture through cotton and still carries a passion for it. That background drove her Twitter handle @JPlovesCOTTON which has become a personal brand of sorts.  She shares stories about all of those things on her personal blog at janiceperson.com.
