Angela joined PORK Network as staff writer in 2010, and today handles many aspects of the magazine’s online and print presence. From cattle to hogs, from corn to wheat, her farming roots trace to generations of hard-working farmers – her great-great grandfather helped bring turkey red wheat to the Midwest. Her family still grows corn and soybeans on their Nebraska farm dating back four generations. She graduated with honors from Ottawa University with a B.A. in Communications and combines her rural upbringing, precision ag experience and agricultural background to create fresh, informational articles that are both relevant and interesting.

Chris Gillies is a freelance writer with a passion for agriculture and telling the farm to plate story across social media, web and print media. His start into Australian agriculture began when he enrolled at Orange Agricultural College and had his eyes opened to the vital role agriculture plays not only in Australia but also the world. On graduation Chris moved to the city to take up a graduate role on the GrainCorp wheat and pools desk. In 2001 he swapped the city and the large trader to join a small grain marketing and handler based in Hillston New South Wales where he did everything from originating grain, selling, loading and unloading trucks and keeping track of stock levels. Returning to the city a few years later he has worked across a wide sector including shipping and supply chain management but was drawn back to agriculture in 2009 taking up a communications role at Meat & Livestock Australia. In 2010, Chris returned to GrainCorp as a communications manager before making a leap into freelance by establishing Jam Tin Copy. Follow Chris on twitter (@jamtincopy) and click here to email him.
