From Eastern Oklahoma Mud to Western Oklahoma Grain - RDA 408

Join us as we explore Jessica’s inspiring journey from eastern Oklahoma to becoming an integral part of a diversified farming operation in the northwest. She shares her experience transitioning from the wetter, more humid climate of eastern Oklahoma to the drier conditions of the west, adapting to new challenges in soil health, crop insurance trends, and unpredictable weather patterns. With deep roots in agriculture, Jessica and her husband, Clint, have grown their operation while raising a family that values hard work and the land.We also dive into the benefits of no-till farming, how soil conservation plays a key role in long-term sustainability, and what it takes to balance farming, family, and a career in crop insurance. Jessica reflects on her time at the assessor’s office, where she gained valuable insights into her new community in Major County. Plus, we reminisce about our days working together at OSU under Dr. Karen Hickman. Don’t miss Jessica’s take on the power of networking among producers and how changing weather patterns continue to shape the future of agriculture in Oklahoma.
