Her grain farming background, coupled with 10 years of academic and industry experience in sectors across the agriculture value chain, brings a well-rounded perspective to how new and innovative technologies are shaping agriculture. Her interest in agriculture began on the family grain farm in Sandy Lake, Manitoba. Early industry experiences with grain elevator operations and small plot trial management led her to obtain BSc (Agronomy) and MSc (Plant Science) degrees from the University of Manitoba before managing field-scale research programs. In her role at EMILI, Leanne oversees the projects and activities taking place on Innovation Farms, a 5,500+ acre commercial seed farm located near Grosse Isle, Manitoba - to test, validate, and demonstrate the vast potential and capabilities of digital agriculture technologies. Leanne is also a provincial councillor for Agrologists Manitoba. He grew up on a community pasture north of Tuffnell, Saskatchewan, and after graduating high school, he headed out to the oil patch in Northern Alberta. After 19 years during a short visit home in 2019 while waiting on a work visa to pursue his oil & gas career into the Australian Moomba Desert, he accidentally created a social media persona named Quick Dick McDick, fell back in love with being home in Saskatchewan and decided to stay. Now when he’s not busy pulling calves, driving truck or planting crop, he spends his time showing us about farming, fossil fuels, how silly our government can be and a whole bunch of other goofy things we do in our every day life, and how it’s perfectly okay that we do them.
