Atlanta, Ga. January 10, 2022 – Jason Luckey, Tennessee Farm Bureau Insurance District I Director, announced today at the Tennessee Farm Bureau board of directors meeting held during the American Farm Bureau Convention his resignation to focus on his family’s farming operation in Gibson County. Luckey is a fourth-generation row crop and cattle farmer and has served as director for the past fourteen years.

“Serving on the Farm Bureau board has been a great honor,” said Luckey. “My family has been involved for decades not only through the insurance services, but also with the agriculture organization that provides a strong voice for farmers. We have been blessed by each opportunity and cannot thank Farm Bureau members enough for our experience through the years.”

Luckey and his wife, Amy, farm corn, cotton, soybeans, winter wheat and run a cow/calf operation with his brother and nephew on their farm in Humboldt, Tenn. His Farm Bureau involvement started with the Tennessee Young Farmers and Ranchers program where he served as Tennessee’s state YF&R chairman in 2004. He has been on the Gibson County Farm Bureau board of directors for more than 20 years, serving seven of those years as county president. He has been selected for numerous Farm Bureau committees throughout the years, but has also provided service on other agriculture committees including the National Cotton Council and Farm Credit Mid-America’s advisory board.

“We are extremely grateful for Jason’s service and dedication to not only our insurance companies, but the entire Tennessee Farm Bureau grassroots organization,” said Tennessee Farm Bureau President Eric Mayberry. “His service is appreciated and we greatly respect his decision to resign in order to focus more on his family’s farm. We wish him well and look forward to his continued involvement in our organization.”

In keeping with the organization’s by-laws, Willie German of Fayette County was appointed by the board of directors to fill the vacancy and serve the remainder of the unexpired term. German, along with his family, farms row crops on more than 8,500 acres and raises roughly 100-head of cattle. Getting involved first through the Tennessee Young Farmers and Ranchers program, German has been loyal to the organization serving on the Fayette County board of directors for nearly 40 years.
