The Jones County Center of the NC Cooperative Extension is very
important to the local area. Jones County's economy is largely
agricultural; major commodities and products include tobacco,
cotton, corn, soybeans, timber and swine. Agriculture is the major
industry in the county with approximate annual gross income of $58
million. Jones County is ranked as the second most
tobacco-dependent in North Carolina and ranks ninth in the nation.
Agriculture and agribusiness account for nearly 20 percent of North
Carolina's jobs and income, but the industry faces changing
technology, world markets, consumer demands and environmental
regulations. North Carolina Cooperative Extension's educational
programs provide farmers and agribusinesses with the research-based
knowledge they need to continue producing a stable, safe and
affordable food supply in economically and environmentally
sustainable ways. The N.C. Farm Bureau and Farm Futures magazines
listed North Carolina as one of the best places to farm in the U.S.
The study by Farm Futures Magazine looked at over 3000 counties to
decide who was the most profitable. North Carolina ranked high with
21 counties in the top 100 and 5 in the top 10. As for Jones
County, we ranked 19th which puts us in the top 20. That's
something to be proud of. In addition to the focus on agriculture
and food the Cooperative Extension Center also has programs geared
towards the community, environment, home & family, and youth
programs including 4-H.
