Heather Berry is the associate editor for Rural Missouri. Before joining the award-winning magazine staff in 1989, she was part of Governor John Ashcroft’s communication’s team.
She currently serves on the institute planning committee for the Cooperative Communicators Association, a national group of co-op communicators comprised of writers, photographers and editors across the United States, Canada and England.
Heather and her husband, Rick, live on a small farm in Callaway County with their adopted shelter dogs — a sheltie named Cody and one rowdy black labrador mix, Nicholas, who chews on everything in sight.
