Houston Native to Direct Missouri Farm Bureau Public Affairs

Houston Native to Direct Missouri Farm Bureau Public Affairs


A Houston native has been named director of public affairs for Missouri Farm Bureau.

Janet Adkison comes to Missouri Farm Bureau after reporting for the national rural network RFD-TV based in Nashville.

She started with the network in 2013. Beginning in 2014, Adkison served as the network’s Washington, D.C., news bureau chief covering the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the White House. She returned to Nashville to anchor the Market Day Report. Before she was a national broadcaster, Adkison was a farm broadcaster for KMZU radio in Carrollton, Mo., and the Brownfield Network in Jefferson City. She is a past president of the National Association of Farm Broadcasting.

Her ties to agriculture, and Farm Bureau, go back to childhood. She grew up on a beef farm in Texas County. She was an active member of the Houston FFA chapter and eventually served as a state FFA officer. One of her earliest FFA activities was competing in MOFB’s FFA Public Speaking Contest. She was later involved in Farm Bureau’s Young Farmers & Ranchers Program and graduated from the Agriculture Leaders of Tomorrow Class XII. Adkison is a Missouri State University graduate.
