Danielle Venable grew up on Matthews Family Farms of North Carolina, owned and operated by her parents, Kevin and Cindy Matthews. She graduated from North Carolina State University in 2020 with a degree in agricultural business management and minors in crop science and economics.
Now, she’s back on the farm fulltime, where the Matthews family produces corn, soybeans, and wheat crops. Venable also runs the farm’s soil sampling business, Precision Nutrient Management Inc., and spends time on the planter and combine when needed.
