Serving as vice-president, executive vice-president and general manager, president, and vice-president of the board of directors, he helped the company expand to swine operations in eight states and engineer and manage the development of many cost-reducing technological production changes. In a tenure lasting 28 years, he reached the highest levels of management in one of the most successful agribusiness firms in recent history. After 13 and a half years with the organization, Wendell Murphy recruited him to work for Murphy Farms. In 1960, he began his career at Central Soya Company in Chattanooga, TN and ultimately held positions in Orangeburg, SC and Charlotte, NC as credit manager. He helped fund his education through cattle sales, barbering, and being a pool shark. In 1959, he received a degree in Agricultural Business from the University of Tennessee (Knoxville). After completing high school in 1955, he became the first of his family to attend college. Their love was cemented on their senior trip when she came to his rescue after he got sick on an amusement ride, and the rest is history. He met his wife of 60 years, Betty Scott, while attending Sequatchie County High School in Dunlap, TN. They sold timber and raised chickens, hogs, and cattle grew apples, potatoes, beans, greens, and many other vegetables. They grew most of what they needed for survival and sold any excess. It was an idyllic 1,700-acre farm with rolling hills of green pastures, hardwood tree-covered mountains, a meandering creek, and mountain springs that must have been reminiscent of the Stockers’ Swiss origins. As a child, he worked on the family farm, referred to as the homeplace, atop the Cumberland Plateau. He was the middle child of three boys and had a twin brother that died at birth. Jim was born on Decemin Palmer, TN to Alfred and Norma Stocker.
