David, Jodie and the girls operate Jackson Five Farms, which include 50 head of cows and calves and own over 200 head of chickens having 15 different breeds and varieties. Poultry is our main 4-H project. We really love our birds. We hatch over 200 baby chicks every year to add to our flock or to sell. We also sell Farm Fresh Eggs and Butcher Chickens. David and his dad hay over 500 acres of hay each year. David and Jodie also own and operated Jackson Auction Service and Jackson Machinery Sales. Jodie has worked at the Scotland County Hospital for 21 years in the Medical Records office and has been helping in the Business Office.

The Jackson Family want to wish all exhibitors the best of luck and hope everyone has fun at the 2022 Scotland County Fair.
