Vance Crowe
Focuses on issues facing the agriculture industry.
His stories and lessons illuminate aspects of communications that remain hidden to most people.
As the former Director of Millennial Engagement for Monsanto, Vance is an experienced negotiator who has spoken before more than 250,000 people, addressing complaints and questions about controversial topics like GMO’s and pesticides.
Vance helps organizations realize why the general public doesn’t agree with their perspective and offers new ways to communicate effectively, resolve disagreements, and build rapport with critics and stakeholders.
A unique perspective in Agriculture
Vance has worked around the globe; the World Bank Group, the U.S. Peace Corps, in media at NPR and PBS stations, and even as a deckhand on a ship. There are few in agriculture with the understanding of Globalism, International Organizations and the power of the media.
Vance understands the challenges facing the modern farmer/rancher and will bring fresh perspectives to your event.
Legacy Interviews
Vance is the founder of Legacy Interviews, where he privately records video interviews with individuals and couples to give future generations the opportunity to know their family history.
Through this work Vance has an ability to build rapport and trust with people, guiding them to sharing stories of triumph and tragedy so that great grandchildren will understand where they came from.
Vance holds a degree in communications from Marquette University and a Master’s degree in cross-cultural negotiations.
Vance is a fellow at the Seton Hall Center for Peace Studies, an honorary member of the Alpha Gamma Rho Agriculture Fraternity and the 2021 Communicator of the Year for the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA)
