Jessica Nixon farms with her husband Danny and their three children on a mixed operation near Earl Grey, about half-an-hour north of Regina.

Nixon has a Bachelor’s and a Masters’ degree in Business Administration.

As a partner at OneHoop Advisory Services, Jessica works on projects focused on Indigenous economic development, including helping one First Nation set up its own beef herd.

The family farm is currently 3,000 acres with 30 head of Black Angus cattle. At one time, she was also involved with a modular indoor year-round hydroponic green house that grew lettuce.

CJWW reporter Keira Miller spoke to Jessica Nixon following her presentation at the Women in Ag Conference on Thursday morning. Jessica speaks about the family farm where she was raised.
