Brittany Hastings Jenks

If you don’t stop her, Brittany is the kind of person who will happily spend thirty minutes rambling about heirloom tomato varieties and seed saving before realizing she’s put half the room to sleep. The other half, she hopes, is chatting right along with her (because come on, who doesn’t love tomatoes?).

Besides being excited about farming – she’s got a Certificate in Sustainable Agriculture from University of Vermont and owns a tiny farm – Brittany has a background in both the publishing and media industries. She’s worked with everything from eBooks to television the past few years, living all over the northeast U.S. in the process. At Morning Ag Clips, Brittany combines her passions to bring you the latest agriculture news, issues and editorials.

Aubrey Bemis-Winch

Aubrey Bemis-Winch married into agriculture. She was surprised to find that people live in places where food cannot be ordered for delivery (not even pizza!), but finds that she likes to bottle feed baby animals.

Aubrey studied English at Washington College on Maryland’s eastern shore and continued her education in the humanities at New York University, from which she earned her Masters. She lives in upstate New York where she is an editor for the Morning Ag Clips.

Michael Guilmette

Mike’s first brush with agriculture was wrangling turkeys and pigs in the barnyard on the family farm when he was 3 years old, and his farming resume only increased from there. From raising cattle and training horses to tending the expansive family garden and haying 40 acres of hay fields, farming was a major part of growing up.

Mike was born and raised in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and he has lived in five more states and another country, during both his tour in the U.S. Air Force and then pursuing his career. A journalist by trade, Morning Ag Clips allowed him to combine his writing and editing skills with his agriculture background.

Oatman

As our Director of Barketing, Oatman greets all visitors to the office with a swift wag of his tail. He hails from the Saratoga County Animal Shelter, where he was Treat Manager before finding a position with the Morning Ag Clips.

Oatman is also the official Break Coordinator, making sure employees rest their eyes and keep mobile while working at their computers.

He is proficient in several commands, including Leave It, Stay and High Five.
