The Oklahoma Farm Bureau convened agricultural leaders from across the state last week, and Oklahoma Pork was proud to engage on multiple fronts throughout the week.

Activities kicked off Monday evening at the Ag Defense Fundraiser, which brought together legislators, attorneys, university representatives, and agricultural leaders to support the legal defense of Oklahoma agriculture. Attendees enjoyed a candid conversation between new Oklahoma Farm Bureau President Stacy Simunek and Governor Kevin Stitt, who reflected on his final year in office and the importance of agriculture to Oklahoma’s future.

The Oklahoma Pork table included Oklahoma Pork Board Member Brett Ramsey and his wife Lisa, Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture Blayne Arthur, State Board of Agriculture Board Member Brett Bolen and his son-in-law, and Dean of the OSU Ferguson College of Agriculture Jayson Lusk along with his wife Christy. The group also engaged around the growing momentum of the All For Food coalition.

Then on Tuesday, the annual Oklahoma Farm Bureau Leadership Conference addressed timely challenges facing agriculture. All For Food appeared on the agenda for the first time with Executive Director Kylee Deniz sharing how the coalition was built by producers for producers to protect agriculture’s freedom to operate through credible narratives and strong alliances.

Oklahoma Pork congratulates the Oklahoma Farm Bureau on an outstanding couple of days of leadership and collaboration that continue to strengthen and future-proof Oklahoma agriculture.
