Jones has also been a leader in numerous agriculture-related organizations, including serving as the Young Farmer Co-Chair, member of the Allen County Farm Bureau Federation Board of Directors, county Women’s Chair, Secretary/Treasurer of Allen County Farm Bureau Federation and on numerous committees. Jones was also recognized as a runner-up for the 2021 KFB Farm Woman of the Year award.

As an active agriculture and safety advocate, she has led the now-annual tradition of 250 Allen County fourth-grade students attending Progressive Agriculture Farm Safety Day at Western Kentucky University since 2013.
