Nebraska Farm Bureau (NEFB) welcomed Jaydn Smith to the Public Policy Team as NEFB's director of environmental and regulatory affairs. We are excited to have Jaydn on board working in this critical space.

Jaydn grew up on his family's farm near Chapman, Nebraska, but ultimately found his passion for ag policy in Washington, D.C., where he served in many capacities with Congressman Don Bacon, most recently as his Legislative Director and Senior Agricultural Policy Advisor. His experience has given him a strong understanding of how policy decisions directly impact farmers and ranchers. 

In his new role, Jaydn will focus on the many environmental and regulatory challenges facing Nebraska agriculture. He will lead our efforts to engage on issues such as water quality, natural resources, climate policy, as well as other federal and state regulatory actions that impact on the daily lives of our members. 

"I have had the great pleasure of working with Jaydn throughout his tenure in Congressman Bacon's office, and it doesn't take long to see both his deep knowledge of agricultural issues and his genuine passion for serving farm and ranch families," said Jordan Dux, senior director of national affairs. "I am beyond thrilled to welcome Jaydn to the Farm Bureau family, and I know he will be a tremendous asset to our organization."

Jaydn's first day in the Lincoln office was Monday, October 6.
