JJ Jones to serve as NACAA vice president |
JJ Jones, Oklahoma State University Extension southeast district area agricultural economics specialist, has been selected to serve as vice president of the National Association of County Agricultural Agents.
Jones was nominated for the national office by the NACAA membership in August. He is a native Oklahoman with a bachelor’s degree in animal science and a master’s in agricultural economics from OSU. After college, he worked for 10 years as an area farm management specialist for University of Tennessee Extension in Livingston, Tennessee. He then returned to Oklahoma to serve in the current role he has held for 19 years.
Jones specializes in assisting livestock producers with aspects of their financial matters, including budgeting, risk management and estate planning. His clientele approaches their livestock operations in a variety of ways, and Jones enjoys the challenge of learning their different perspectives.
“What I love about Extension is it’s a different job every day,” he said. “I enjoy working with people and helping them be successful. I provide them with the information they need to make good financial decisions, and they inspire me to understand the direction they’re coming from.”

Cattle Industry Leader Bob Drake sits down and talks with Ron Hays about his lifetime of service in the cattle business. Drake has served as the President of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association, the last President of the old National Cattlemen's Association and Vice President of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau.
He loves politics and being a change agent for the cattle producer back up at the fork of the creek. Drake had a front row seat as the Beef Checkoff was approved by cattle producers and he believes it's way past time to find a way to get a second dollar at the national level.
