About Me

I'm Michelle Erickson-Jones. I am a 4th generation farmer in South Central Montana. I am married to a 4th generation Montana rancher. We are raising two little boys who are hopefully the 5th generation on our farm. We farm with my dad and brother.

We raise wheat, malt barley, safflower, sunflowers, corn, alfalfa, forage grains, and maintain a small cow/calf operation.

I am an experienced public policy analyst with a focus on domestic policy (Farm Bill) and trade policy. I have a deep understanding of policy advocacy and am experienced in media and strategic communications.
I am a Past President of the Montana Grain Growers Association (all views expressed here are my own). I am also a Senior Regional Operations Manager for Amazon Logistics (also all views experessed here are my own).
