1. Who we are
THE WOOD FAMILY
JOHN WOOD FARM
Please meet John, Nan, Jennifer, Jordan and John M. Wood. John
and Nan have resided in rural Monticello for 17 years. They have
managed and operated their Wood family farm near Canton, MO
since 1983. The grass production farm near Canton has been in the
Wood family for four generations. John and Nan have envisioned
grass finishing beef since 1994 and have been researching and
developing the concept over the years. John holds a degree in Farm
Operations from Iowa State University, and Nan is a graduate of
Illinois State University. A priority for John and Nan has been to stay
on the cutting edge of agricultural technology. They achieve this goal
through networking with several land grant institutions and a group of entrepreneurs. The Woods'
have been active in their community serving in many leadership capacities. Nan is an accomplished
musician and teacher. They envision a time when the flow of the best and the brightest out of rural
communities will be reversed through successful entrepreneurial leadership.
