Commissioner Jonathan Shell, Kentucky Department of Agriculture
Jonathan Shell was elected Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Nov. 7, 2023. A fifth-generation farmer, his family owns and operates Shell Farms and Greenhouses in Garrard County where they raise cattle and grow flowers, corn and pumpkins. Realizing farming is a way of life for many in Kentucky and agriculture’s vital impact on every Kentuckian, Shell has dedicated his administration to ensuring a bright future for Kentucky agriculture. Commissioner Shell believes agriculture can be summed up in three words: food, faith, and family. As Agriculture Commissioner he fights for Kentucky’s farm families and Kentucky values, bringing what he has learned on the farm to his role. His goal is to ensure the important business of the Kentucky Department of Agriculture continues seamlessly, while remaining a resource Kentucky farmers can count on as they feed their neighbors and the entire world.
