Meet Marcia: Agronomist and Superstar Coder!
Meet Marcia
I'm an agronomist-turned-software engineer who grew up in Michigan and graduated from Michigan State University and Auburn University with advanced degrees in Crop & Soil Science and Agribusiness Management.
As the owner/operator of Agfluence LLC, I combine my marketing, agronomy, and coding skills to help agribusinesses all around the world achieve their goals.
What Inspires Me
My hobby has always been photography/videography, and when I began sharing my professional agriculture journey on social media, it just caught on. I think it's just so much fun and a great way to connect with people all over the world.
What’s Unique about Farming in MI
Michigan has a very diverse array of crops. It's great that I can shoot pictures and videos of grapes, apples, blueberries, and corn all in one day.
What Misconceptions I Would Like to Address
There’s that stereotypical look of a farmer or someone who works in agriculture. I think people in agriculture come from multiple diverse backgrounds. This bias is something I'd like to see change in the industry.
What I Have Coming Up
I am so excited about the code I am writing that automates tedious data entry jobs for farms so that they can spend more time in the field rather than sitting in an office inputting data.
