Forage Fanatic!
Dr. Jennifer Tucker is an Associate Professor of Beef Nutrition and Forage Management.
Dr. Tucker was raised on a small beef cattle operation in South Central Kentucky where she grew up showing cattle, raising various crops including tobacco and vegetables, and helping to improve the pastures on her family's farm. Growing up Tucker was an active member of 4-H, FFA, and the Kentucky and National Junior Angus Associations, competing and winning several competitions including livestock judging, team sales, demonstrations, national cook-off, and public speaking. Tucker’s experiences from these organizations helped catapult her into a career she never imagined at such a young age. It would seem that the trip from Tompkinsville, KY to Tifton, GA were a straight trajectory, however her path was anything but. “Growing up cattle, crops, and public speaking were just things I did with my family. I never realized the relationships I built and the experiences I had would play such an important role later on in life. In fact when I graduated high school I set out on a path far away from the farm and ag-life!” Fortunately for us her plans got redirected!
