Howell named host of “Market to Market”

Delaney Howell is the new host of Iowa Public Television’s “Market to Market,” which covers the agriculture business, replacing Mike Pearson.

John Torpy of Iowa Public Television writes, “In 2015, Howell became an intern for Market to Market while attending Northwest Missouri State to study Agricultural Sciences and Broadcasting. The stories Howell produced for the program took her across the country, covering everything from catfish farming to forestry.

“Delaney Howell, Host – Market to Market: ‘Agriculture is where I feel at home and that’s my people. So that’s the story I keep wanting to tell is agriculture’s./ people sit down to watch the show every Friday night, or whatever night it is on for them, because your livelihood depends on it.’

“As she returned to college for her final year, Howell continued to report for Market to Market examining agri-business start-ups in Northern Missouri. Since graduation, her farm broadcasting resume has expanded from television to include radio, print and various on-line platforms. She also is tackling a Master’s Degree in Agricultural Communications at Texas Tech.

“As the first women to host Market to Market, Howell looks forward to fulfilling the dream she set for herself as young girl.”
