Pat Hill is DTN's Markets Editor. She grew up in Casper, Wyo., and graduated from the University of Wyoming, earning a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, both in history. After teaching for several years in schools in Wyoming and Omaha, she came to DTN in 1989, first calling elevators for their daily grain bids.

The job in the newsroom has provided her the on-going opportunity to study the markets and learn about issues of importance to American farmers.

Vicki Myers never imagined that the trail of cotton lint lining the roads of her home town near Eudora, Miss., would be a trail she would follow across the country in her career. One thing was for sure -- she would write. In her senior year in high school she served as editor of the school newspaper. At Memphis State, where she graduated with a B.A. degree in journalism, she wrote for the university's office of Public Affairs, as well as a local newspaper called the Memphis Business Journal. After graduation, she accepted an internship at the National Journalism Center in Washington, D.C., then later with Readers Digest's Washington Bureau. Ready to move back home, Vicki decided to be a freelance writer. It didn't take long to carve a niche for herself in agricultural writing, specifically cotton.
