Jun 20, 2022

On episode 46 of the FoodGrads Podcast we interviewed Melissa Norem, Enterprise Director of Origination at Scoular. The Scoular company is an employee-owned $6B agribusiness leading the way since 1892. They buy, sell, store, handle and process grain and ingredients by leveraging their global networks and expertise in international trade and transportation.

In this episode Melissa talked to us about her career journey as 20-year veteran in the agricultural industry with roles which have include trading, supply-chain management and business development.  We learned more about about Scoular and how they are supporting farmers and communities with their focused approach on relationships and innovative supply chain solutions.

Melissa allowed Veronica to pick her brain on some on what skills are important in her role particularly communication. They also divided into the topic about getting into the agricultural industry even if you have no background in the field. Finally, Melissa also taught me about grain production and what it looks like getting from seed to plate.
