Jessica grew up on a cow-calf operation in Texas. She moved to Indiana five years ago to become an assistant professor at Huntington University. Baggerman teaches animal and food science, advises undergraduates, supervises internships, coordinates judging/competitive teams, and oversees the care of livestock at Three Rivers Farm and Don Strauss Animal Science Education Center.
Jessica is no stranger to Farm Bureau. Her father served on a county board in Texas and encouraged her to get involved at a young age. Before her move to Indiana, Jessica attended Oklahoma State University and found a passion for teaching undergraduates. Once settled in Huntington County, she was asked to serve on the county board and has continued to get more involved with Indiana Farm Bureau over the years.
Jessica currently serves as a Huntington County Farm Bureau board member and has been active in the YF&AP Discussion Meet competition where she made it to the Final Four round in 2020 and 2021. She also serves as the Huntington University Collegiate Farm Bureau Advisor.
Jessica represents members in Adams, Blackford, Grant, Howard, Huntington, Jay, Miami, Tipton, Wabash and Wells counties.
