We just learned that Jack Farmakis has passed away and are saddened to hear it. Once upon a time his company represented the first company that Cindy, Gary Cooper and I started in Florida. And his company now represents Gary’s Southeast AgNet and AgNet West.

Jack was an active member of NAFB since 1974 and left his mark on the industry. On his NAFB membership application, Jack wrote: “As a firm that is 100% active in agriculture, I want to be active in NAFB!!” Jack was involved with ag selling since the 1950s and eventually founded his national sales firm, J.L. Farmakis, Inc. in the 1970s. The NAFB family extends our sympathy to the Farmakis family and the J.L. Farmakis team.
