Terry Spence is the second-generation owner and operator of the 400 acre family farm where he was born, raised, and then raised his own family. Since its inception, this northeast Missouri farm has been involved in poultry, swine, sheep, cattle, and dairy cow operations. These days, Terry and his family concentrate solely on beef cattle, a cow- calf operation.

For the past 20 years, Terry has dedicated his free time to issues of importance to all family farmers. At the local level, Terry co-founded two grass roots organizations of which he is currently president, Family Farms for the Future (FFFF) and Citizens Legal Environmental Action Network (CLEAN).
