Quincey is a member of the Florida Agriculture Hall of Fame and is a founding member of the Florida Cattle Ranchers, which helps supply Florida beef to customers. He is a fifth-generation cattleman who founded Quincey Cattle Company in 1992.

“We are thrilled to welcome Don Quincey to our Board of Directors,” said Julie Morris, FCG Executive Director. “His extensive knowledge and unwavering dedication to environmental stewardship will without a doubt strengthen our organization’s ability to protect and preserve Florida’s diverse ecosystems and agricultural lands for generations to come.”

FCG has worked for years to help protect agricultural land as part of the Florida Forever program and the Rural and Family Lands Protection Program, in addition to other conservation work. The Florida Cabinet recently approved two easements in the Myakka and Peace River watersheds that the FCG helped push for.
