Pam was Born in Northeastern Wisconsin. Raised on her family’s 200-acre dairy farm, she learned the “farm work ethic” first hand. Pam has been dedicated to agriculture throughout her life, being actively involved in both 4-H and FFA activities. She happily served as a 4-H camp counselor, was a dairy exhibitor in county fairs, and even reigned as Oconto County’s Dairy Queen.

At the University of Wisconsin – River Falls, Pam studied broadcast journalism and broad area agriculture. She started the campus’s first ever “Farm Show” on the radio and received the top national scholarship from the National Association of Farm Broadcasters (NAFB). After college, Pam moved into her chosen field, doing farm broadcasting, radio, and television, from Green Bay to Eau Claire, WI. Pam often says she feels like farm broadcasting and communicating on behalf of food producers is exactly what she was made for.

More recently Pam served as the 2010 president of the National Association of Farm Broadcasting, and in 2013 was named Farm Broadcaster of the Year.

She has received many honors, including the “Honorary Recognition” award from UW-Madison’s College of Agriculture, her honorary “American FFA Degree”, and citations from the Wisconsin State Senate.
