Please welcome Jacob Hefley, Field Specialist in Agriculture Business, to the University of Missouri Extension Office in Taney County. While Jacob’s office is in Taney County, he will also serve Christian, Douglas, Greene, Howell, Ozark, Texas, Webster, and Wright counties.

Jacob is a native of Harrison, AR and attended College of the Ozarks where he obtained his Bachelor’s in Agricultural Business and Animal Science. This past December, he graduated from Kansas State University with a Master’s degree in Agricultural Economics. Though he is interested in all aspects of agribusiness, his focus has primarily been in the areas of beef cattle economics, production, record keeping, value-added practices and risk management.

Jacob and his wife Emma are excited to announce they will be welcoming their first child the first week of August. Jacob says, “Please feel free to stop by the office, I would enjoy the chance to meet you and answer your questions.”
