Matthew Hargrove
Moody
Summary
I am a 47 year old third generation farmer and rancher. I have been married to my beautiful wife for 27 years. I have two amazing kids, Drew is a Game Biologist on a ranch close to home and Mattie is in college pursuing a career in Veterinary Technology. I served on the Moody ISD school board for ten years and on the Texas Farm Bureau Board for four years. I am a very motivated person who doesn't do any halfway. I have spent my entire life in the agriculture business. I have been a crop insurance adjuster for Rain and Hail for six years. I currently have a cow/calf operation and run about 150 stockers per year. In the last twelve months I have stepped away from row crop farming and the grain elevator business to pursue crop insurance adjusting full time.
