Julia Gibson, a sixth-generation farmer, grew up in Arbyrd, Missouri, in a row crop family and community.
She has a strong background in agricultural and outdoor communications and previously served as the 2023 National Ms. United States Agriculture, where her platform focused on hunting, conservation, and supporting the American farmer. Through her work, Gibson’s passion for encouraging women and future generations to engage in hunting and conservation grew, alongside her commitment to fostering positive relationships between farmers and hunters.
“When the position opened with Delta, I immediately applied,” said Gibson. “I love communicating with folks in ways that are unique to each person. Building trust, memories, and more with people who are just as passionate as you are about the things we all love is why I wake up every day, and coming together with folks across the state and country to improve conservation and enjoy the harvest is the best reward.”
Gibson holds a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Communications from Mississippi State University and a Master of Science in Agricultural Communications from the University of Tennessee.
Outside of her work with Delta, Gibson enjoys time on the farm, hunting, fishing, and spending time with her loved ones. Her favorite places to hunt are her family’s land, among the Arkansas timber, or in a layout in the middle of a cornfield in northwest Missouri. She also has two Labs—Fritz and Benji.
