IWCA series: Meghan Scott
Thu Aug 28 2025
As a field marketer and sales coach at Hensall Co-op in Ailsa Craig, Ont., Meghan Scott has learned a lot about building relationships with growers, interns, summer students and co-workers. When it comes to cropping systems and making recommendations, there’s not always a perfect answer. That’s why relationships are so important. But it takes time to get to know people and to figure out the best means of communication. Meghan is still partial to meeting face-to-face and to a phone call over a text.
With years of experience in her role, Meghan has learned that mistakes do happen. It’s always better to acknowledge them honestly and to tackle challenges head-on.
In this episode, Meghan speaks with agriculture editor Kaitlin Berger about how much there is to learn when you work in agriculture - and the importance of pursuing educational resources and keeping up-to-date in the industry. She’s also discovered that agricultural seasons go in waves of busyness. It’s important to recognize the busy seasons won’t last forever, especially as she balances her work with her personal life.
