Oklahoma Farm Bureau has named Trace Justiss to serve as the organization’s assistant director of research and regulatory affairs.
In his new position, Justiss will work in the organization’s public policy department to support the advocacy efforts of Farm Bureau and the OKFB Legal Foundation. Justiss will conduct legal research and monitor regulatory activity that affects 
Oklahoma farmers, ranchers and rural residents.
“I am proud to be part of an organization that stands up for the rights of Oklahoma’s agricultural community,” Justiss said. “Agriculture is an industry that everyone relies on, whether or not they realize it, and as someone who grew up in agriculture, I am committed to standing up for our rural way of life. Every day when I walk into Farm Bureau, my goal is to fight for the future of agriculture.”
Justiss earned his law degree from Oklahoma City University in May and is a licensed attorney. He completed his undergraduate studies at West Texas A&M with a degree in agricultural business and economics with a minor in plant and soil science.
He spent the last year as the OKFB Legal Foundation intern where he researched legal and regulatory issues while providing information and resources to Farm Bureau leaders and members.
Justiss grew up on a ranch near San Angelo, Texas, and was an active 4-H and FFA member.
