We’re excited to introduce Gil Gullickson as the next editor of Wallaces Farmer. He will be just the 13th editor at Wallaces Farmer, founded in 1855 by Henry Wallace, who was followed as editor by son Henry C. Wallace and grandson Henry A. Wallace.
“Good farming, clear thinking, right living,” was a phrase Henry A. liked to use at Wallaces Farmer, and it’s tough to think of anyone who more closely fits that mantra than Gullickson.
“Wallaces Farmer has a wonderful legacy of bringing ideas to farmers that make them money and better the lives of their families,” Gullickson says. “I plan to further this legacy as editor of Wallaces Farmer. I look forward to visiting farms and attending university and industry events to develop stories across all media channels that benefit farmers.”
Gullickson grew up on a farm that he now owns near Langford, S.D., and graduated with an agronomy degree from South Dakota State University.
In some respects, this is a homecoming for Gullickson. Earlier in his career, he spent 13 years as a Farm Progress editor, covering Minnesota and the Dakotas.
“It’s there where I learned what I call dirt-under-the-fingernails coverage,” he says. “It’s that down-to-earth coverage that has always made Farm Progress editors stand out in the industry.”
Gullickson is a widely respected and decorated ag journalist, earning the Agricultural Communicators Network writing award for Writer of the Year three times, and winning Story of the Year four times. He is a past winner of the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists’ Food and Agriculture Organization Award for Food Security. He has served as president of both ACN and the North American Agricultural Journalists.
Look for his byline in future issues, as well as at WallacesFarmer.com.
