Emelia Roberts

Communications Coordinator

Growing up in Wisconsin, Emelia Roberts learned early that agriculture is never too far from home. But it wasn’t until she became a television reporter that she got to experience the stories behind the fields firsthand. Through her work, she spent time with farmers and ranchers across the region, sharing the stories, challenges and successes that shape their lives and communities. Those experiences gave her a deeper appreciation for the work that goes into producing the food, fuel and everyday products people often take for granted.

Emelia joins South Dakota Corn as the Communications Coordinator, bringing a background in journalism, storytelling and a genuine appreciation for the people who make agriculture possible. A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Emelia studied Radio, TV and Film with a minor in Journalism before beginning her career in broadcast news.

Now, she’s bringing that passion for storytelling into a new chapter of her career. Emelia looks forward to amplifying the voices of South Dakota’s farmers, advocating for the people behind the industry and helping communicate the importance of agriculture to communities across the state. She’s excited to put her experience to work for the people who keep agriculture moving forward and to help play a part in shaping its future.

Outside of work, Emelia enjoys getting lost in a good book, discovering new music, dancing her heart out, and has never passed on an opportunity to bring the house down with some karaoke!
