"I have the best of all worlds!" |
Sarah Wilson moved to North Dakota from her native Maryland in 2002 for graduate school at North Dakota State University. Just five years later, Sarah has a young family, is part owner in a 3,000-acre farm near Jamestown, and she is building her career with North Dakota Farm Bureau.
"The Internet has revolutionized rural America," Sarah says. "Having fiber optic access in my home office in Jamestown allows me to use my graduate degree and maintain a network in the international agriculture community - all while raising a family on our farm. I have the best of all worlds!"
Sarah grew up on a dairy farm near Baltimore where she says, "People are generally three to four generations removed from farm life. Employees were so hard to find. In North Dakota young people are very respectful of farming life because more of them are closer to it."
When Sarah and her husband, Jeremy, are not farming or spending time with their daughter, Charlotte, they are out educating others about agriculture. "I could not be happier on the Plains," Sarah says.
