BIO
Julie has been managing agricultural property in the Delta since 2014. She spent her

first 8 years managing farms at Delta Land & Farm Management in Mer Rouge, LA. At Delta

Land, Julie managed property for the owner of the company, several investment funds, and

various multi-generation family landowners, including her own. Alongside two other managers,

Julie oversaw 125,000+ acres of farmland, covering Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas. She

built an extensive network of successful farmers in the region, directly managing over 75

tenants across 18 Parishes/Counties. The variety within the landowner portfolio that Julie

managed at Delta Land gave her unparalleled experience in Land Management in the Delta

region, where Land Management is still relatively new compared to the rest of the country. She

is particularly successful at tailoring her management style to the particular landowner at hand,

understanding that the needs of an institutional investor and a family landowner can be very

different. Her ability to seamlessly navigate relationships within the Ag-space from top to bottom

can be attributed to her liberal arts education and her unique path to Land Management. Julie

recognizes the importance of farmland as a long-term investment, calibrating her management

recommendations in the short term with fluctuations in farmland prices, commodity markets,

input supply chains, and the annual financial needs/concerns of a given landowner. She

managed an organic rice farming operation at Delta Land from its infancy in 2015, managing the

transition and certification processes of 3,300+- acres of conventional land to organic cropland.

In the process, Julie gained knowledge of the organic process, organic inputs, organic

governing bodies, and the benefits of sustainable farming practices. Julie joined Peoples

Company as a Land Manager in September of 2022, along with her husband Thomas, who is a

real estate agent. Since joining Peoples Company, Julie has continued to gain experience managing

properties in Louisiana that grow rice, cotton, corn, soybeans, wheat, peanuts, and

grain sorghum. She has orchestrated several major improvement projects to maintain irrigation

infrastructure and access to water on properties that require these to maximize their return

potential and maintain their value. Julie has a great interest in being at the forefront of

sustainability initiatives in the region. In 2025, Julie hosted auditors to successfully complete a

Leading Harvest sustainability program audit of all of her managed farms in Louisiana. In the

Fall of 2023, Julie gained her Accredited Farm Manager designation through the American

Society of Farm Managers & Rural Appraisers, joining a select 43% of the ASFMRA

membership who have received the Accredited status and currently maintain it through the

ASFMRA continuing education program. This made Julie the very first Female Accredited Farm

Manager in Louisiana. Julie and Thomas reside in Monroe, Louisiana with their three children,

Wyatt, Warren, and Goldie.

EDUCATION

Julie attended Colgate University in New York where she received a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts and

Art History.
