Hunter Buffington, Tillery Sims and Jessica Scott quite literally live on 3 opposing points in the United States. Colorado, Texas and Indiana couldn’t be farther apart from one another physically. Their agricultural systems respectively represent their regional traditions, climates, culture and so much more. Read more about each of the team members individually here. Despite these distances and differences, the three of them have brushed elbows, collaborated and worked alongside one another for many years. Now, they are grateful to say they have the privilege to work with one another every day under their new company: Agriculture Policy Solutions (APS).
The unification of these three has been a long time coming. Individually, they have developed highly desirable and effective professional skill sets that have served employers, clients and non-profits alike. Their first work together was cultivated years ago in the emerging industrial hemp industry. Like any new industry, there was a call for industrious, smart, determined and innovative individuals to carry incredible amounts on their backs with little promise of return. Most recently, the three had the privilege of working together to submit feed approval applications for Hempseed Meal and Hempseed Oil for Horses and Chickens in Texas and Kentucky. They secured state wide approvals and opened animal feed markets for hemp products for the first time in the US. They see a problem, they solve it. They see an opportunity, they pursue it. With their individual and now team success under their belt, the three decided to officially create Agriculture Policy Solutions. APS represents the culmination of years of identifying solutions to roadblocks and needs for farmers and ag businesses. The team's creative problem solving has moved projects forward methodically across the finish line. All three founders of APS have spent years in the non-profit space and have all wished there was more support to accomplish the incredible missions they were tied to. Creating APS ignited the ability for these three women to take the reins on developing projects and support (with all of the benefits of a consultancy) for both companies and NPO’s to drive missions forward to see real results. No room for fluff, cutting the fat. Getting done what women do best: doing 20 things at once and completing as close to perfection as possible. Currently it’s March 3rd, the second day of Women’s History Month. Women in Agriculture, specifically, will be the way APS chooses to enter the digital world and say “Nice to Meet You”, here is female excellence in agriculture. They will be sharing stories of brilliant female scientists, cultural stories we can see acting upon agriculture today, current female leaders in agriculture and so much more. You are invited to follow them along the journey while they provide solutions for ag innovators at: #agpolicysolutions #ladiesofAPS Instagram @agpolicysolutions Facebook: @AgPolicySolutions LinkedIn: Agriculture Policy Solutions
