Tina May: Land O' Lakes

Land O’ Lakes is known for butter: they make 300 million POUNDS annually! But equally as important: their commitment to sustainable agriculture.


Tina May, VP, Rural Services and Chief of Staff to the CEO, joins us to talk agriculture, broadband, rural services, and so much more. From her start as a grain merchandiser, to her work at the USDA, to Land O’ Lakes, where she leads the development of the American Connection Corp and countless other sustainability initiatives, Tina has proven the power of doing good and doing well.


Food and agriculture is something we all share, whether we’re planting the seeds or just eating them. So grab some food, hit play, and listen to our conversation on Tina’s impressive career, how agriculture policies like The Farm Bill can impact Americans, the work of Land O’ Lakes, and the future of food.
