Davenport was most recently with Farm Journal Media as producer of the AgriTalk programs. She is well-versed in the issues facing agriculture today and understands the importance of keeping producers informed.

Her strong radio and television background will enhance the team of broadcasters already producing the most timely, relent, and best sounding farm radio in the state.
Davenport will also bring a new dimension to MAIN.
