R J Turner built the Turner Ranch in southeastern Oklahoma, spanning nearly 10 000 acres across Murray Pontotoc and Johnston counties and housing premier purebred Hereford cattle. He sold the ranch in May 1963 to Winthrop Rockefeller for about 2.5 million dollars.

He grew from a Missouri immigrant family and early work in real estate and oil to wealth before his political career.
