Oklahoma Farm Bureau recently welcomed two new employees to the organization’s communications and public relations department.
Mickinzi Ferguson joined OKFB as communications specialist in late May. In her role, Ferguson will help share the Farm Bureau and Oklahoma agriculture story by creating social media content, managing the website, generating photography and video assets, producing written content and providing support for other communications projects.
“Coming from a family deeply rooted in agriculture for generations and the Farm Bureau organization, I am grateful to share the stories of our farmers, ranchers, and producers in the state of Oklahoma,” Ferguson said. “I look forward to learning more about Oklahoma agriculture and meeting OKFB members around the state.”
Originally from Walkersville, MD, Ferguson was raised on her family’s farm where she raised and exhibited show pigs. She graduated from Oklahoma State University in May with dual degrees in agricultural communications and animal science.
Kate Jackson joined OKFB as the organization’s publications specialist. In her role, she will produce the organization’s Perspective Newsletter and quarterly Oklahoma Country magazine. She will also create a variety of communications products for OKFB including written articles, photography, video assets and design projects.
Jackson is from Mountain View, OK, where she grew up on her family’s farm. She recently graduated from OSU with a degree in agricultural communications. Jackson’s family has been heavily involved in the OKFB organization at numerous levels.
“Growing up on a farm in rural Oklahoma gave me my passion for agriculture and a passion to tell agriculture’s story,” Jackson said. “I am excited to join Oklahoma Farm Bureau, which is a dream come true for me.”
