RICHMOND – A Cache Valley dairyman and a Utah State University graduate is taking a high profile position with Utah’s largest Ag organization.

Spencer Gibbons recently took on the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO) for the Utah Farm Bureau Federation on July 1.

Spencer Gibbons was promoted to the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO) for the Utah Farm Bureau Federation. Gibbons spent the previous 17 years as the northern regional manager for the organization. In his new role, Gibbons will assume day-to-day management over operations and have a direct management function with staff.

Gibbons was raised in Lewiston on a multi-generational dairy farm and graduated from Utah State University earning a degree in Ag Business & Economics. He continued to work at the family dairy. He and his wife Krista live in Richmond, Utah and have four children.

I look forward to this new challenge and am excited to see how we can further serve our members and connect all Utah families to the ‘Miracle of Agriculture’,” Gibbons said. “Our staff members are dedicated to the mission of the Utah Farm Bureau, and I’m confident we’ll continue to deliver premium services to our members.”
