Emily (Garnett) Unglesbee is a staff reporter for the DTN newsroom. She grew up in south-central Pennsylvania and graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in classics. In an effort to escape academia, she spent the next two years working on five different farms and ranches in England, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Nebraska. After discovering she enjoyed agriculture far more than Latin and Greek, she earned her master’s degree in journalism from the University of Missouri-Columbia, while working part-time for DTN/The Progressive Farmer and the Missouri Ruralist.
