Jill Wheeler is the head of sustainable productivity for global agricultural company North America Syngenta which provides data solutions for farmers all around the world. In this clip, Jill talks with us about the need for various kinds of skilled tech talent in the farming sector.
“So many people think agriculture is limited to some farmer in overall standing in the middle of a field. And it is not that at all.”
Jill grew up on a farm in Iowa and says she couldn’t wait to leave. After earning her degree in journalism and working for many years in corporate America in advertising and marketing, she realized she was still very passionate about farming. She eventually made her way to Syngenta where she fulfills her passion for keeping farmers and communities healthy.
