At Waypoint Bank, we are proud to partner with individuals and families who embody the values of hard work, stewardship, and a commitment to future generations. This month, we are honored to spotlight our clients, the Jones family of Stapleton, Nebraska.

Recently, the Jones family received the 2025 Nebraska Leopold Conservation Award, a prestigious recognition presented by the Sand County Foundation to private landowners who demonstrate outstanding voluntary conservation on their land.

The Joneses, owners of Diamond Bar Ranch, have spent decades managing their land in the Nebraska Sandhills with care and intention. Through methods of rotational grazing, protecting wildlife habitats, and improving water systems, the Jones’ conservation efforts have made their ranch a model of sustainability in Nebraska’s ag industry.

Their story is more than one of land management—it’s about legacy. By focusing on practices that protect and enhance the natural resources they rely on, the Jones family is preserving the land not just for today, but for tomorrow’s ranchers and rural communities.

Waypoint Bank is proud to support agricultural producers like the Jones family who are making a meaningful impact on our land and communities. We believe that when families like the Joneses thrive, Nebraska thrives.

Congratulations to the Jones family on this well-earned recognition, and thank you for allowing us to be part of your story.
