She was also a state home demonstration agent. Early life and educationMcKimmon was born in Raleigh, North Carolina on November 13, 1867. She was the oldest of nine children and born to William and Anne Cannon Shanks Simpson.[1] McKimmon's family lived in Raleigh with Scottish ancestry and her mother, Anne Cannon Shanks, had moved from Glasgow, Scotland to Raleigh. McKimmon grew up in a household of strongly held Christian beliefs.[2] When she was 19, Mckimmon married a 40 year old Charles Mckimmon, who was a Raleigh businessman and they had four children.[3] Mckimmon went to public schools for four years then went on to spend five years at the Peace Institute in Raleigh. Jane devoted one year to study art. She graduated from the Peace Institute when she was 16 years old.[4] When Mckimmon was 60 years old she obtained a B.S. degree from State College in 1926 and a M.S. degree in 1929. She also received an honorary LL.D. in 1934 from the University of North Carolina to recognize her outstanding contribution to the educational field.[1] CareerIn the early 1900s Mckimmon trained home demonstration agents to work with farm women, while farmers were learning new principles of scientific agriculture to improve their crop production. Mckimmon and her home demonstrations agents were true "mothers of invention" meaning they created new ways to increase female participation in agricultural life.[3] In 1911, when she took over this program that gave women a role in the agricultural field, the program consisted of 416 farm girls in 14 countries. 30 years later, membership reached to 70,000 members in 100 countries.[5] She traveled all over the state of North Carolina recruiting farm girls to join tomato clubs.[3] In 1917 she was appointed by Governor Thomas W. Bickett to help direct the food conservation program which was established during World War I. During World War II, Governor J. Melville Broughton appointed her to the State Council for National Defense.[3] In 1945, University of North Carolina Press published her book, "When We're Green We Grow" a book of home demonstration work in North Carolina.[6] LegacyIn 1927, North Carolina home demonstration agents established the Jane S. Mckimmon loan fund.[7] In 1947, Mckimmon's portrait was presented by the North Carolina Agriculture Extension workers at State College.[3] In 1966, Mckimmon was the first woman elected to the Agricultural Hall of Fame. In 1976, the Jane S. Mckimmon Center for Extensions and Continuing Education was completed at North Carolina State University.[7] References1. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://mckimmoncenter.ncsu.edu/history/|title=History of the McKimmon Center {{!}} McKimmon Center for Extension & Continuing Education|website=mckimmoncenter.ncsu.edu|language=en-US|access-date=2018-01-30}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:McKimmon, Jane Simpson}}2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.ncpedia.org/biography/mckimmon-jane-simpson|title=McKimmon, Jane Simpson {{!}} NCpedia|website=www.ncpedia.org|language=en|access-date=2018-01-30}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite book|title=North Carolina women: making history|last=Smith|first=Margaret Supplee|publisher=Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press|year=1999|isbn=|location=|pages=}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://ead.archives.ncdcr.gov/P_C_234_Jane_S__McKimmon_Papers.html|title=Finding Aid of the Jane S.
