Karina Jones is a real-life ranch wife in the Nebraska Sandhills and one of the most highly sought-after speakers in the cattle industry nationwide!

Bringing you a “Point of Order” today on Ranch Raised.

Yesterday I got to be surrounded by blue & gold brilliance at my daughter’s district leadership development events. I watched kids present people in agriculture, and speak on everything ulcers in horses to butchering chickens. And of course there is the perennial highlight the FFA creed speaking. My daughter punched her ticket to state in Jr Public Speaking with her speech, “AI in Ag Education” about the dangers of students using artificial intelligence in the classroom. 

My daughter was a part of a team event and that is what I want to highlight today. For two years I’ve watched my daughter and her teammates meet multiple times a week during the fall and winter to prepare for their Conduct of Chapter Meeting event. If you are not familiar with “CCM” is the baby step to the Parliamentary Procedure Event. Both of these contest and their competitors leave me awe-struck! I would be hard pressed to walk into many school board or rural electric board meetings where terms like “point of inquiry” and “postpone indefinitely” are being and being done so correctly. Parli pro is sadly becoming a lost skill. 

I want to take a minute and recognize the FFA organization as a whole for not letting parli pro go out of style. This might be the last youth organization actively teaching parli pro! I applaud the FFA Advisors that carrying that Robert Rules of Order book around and passing that knowledge on to young people, for these are the leaders that we need in board rooms!

About Karina Jones 461 Articles
Karina ranches with her husband, Marty, and 3 daughters near Broken Bow, NE. She grew up in western NE, with roots also in southwest SD. The cattle industry and raising kids is her passion. Watching the cattle industry go the path that it has gone, she could no longer sit quietly at home checking cows, fixing fence, and doing all the everyday tasks wondering when some else was going to make it all better. As she became more active and outspoken on industry issues, she was asked to join the R-CALF USA staff in September 2020 as the Checkoff Petition Campaign manager. That position transcended into her current role as full time Field Director for R-CALF USA. You can hear her almost every Friday on Your Ag Network’s Hot Barn Report that is broadcast on 60 radio stations with coverage in 9 states, where she deep dives into cattle industry issues and highlights R-CALF’s work on industry reforms. Listen to Ranch Raised on a Your Ag Network hometown station or www.youragnetwork.com where she talks about her daily life on the ranch. Cattle producers are her people. She will meet you at the county fair, at the sale barn, or anywhere the dusty trail leads.
