Farm Bureau reaches out to storm victims
Throughout much of the history of this great state, the family members of Oklahoma Farm Bureau have worked together, sharing the joys, and the sufferings that accompany everyday life. We are a statewide family with offices in all 77 counties to serve Oklahomans. The horrific storms serve as another reminder of how important it is to help each other when tragedy strikes.
The Oklahoma Farm Bureau and Affiliated Companies’ main office at 2501 N. Stiles, Oklahoma City, will serve as a collection point for donations to those affected by the storms. Critical items needed are bottled water, sports drinks, paper towels, disinfectant wipes, individually wrapped snack food, diapers, baby formula and work gloves. Clothing does not appear to be needed at this time. Beginning Wednesday, May 22, there will be a trailer on the west side of the building for donations that our staff will distribute to appropriate relief organizations.

farm bureau pleased with new farm bill efforts
This week, both the U.S. Senate and House Agriculture Committees passed their versions of the new farm bill that protects agricultural producers and consumers.
“From the beginning of this farm bill discussion, we have stated our desire for an adequate income safety net with a strong crop insurance program,” said Mike Spradling, president of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau. “Crop insurance is extremely important for us, especially when you consider our variable weather conditions. We applaud the Senate and House Ag Committees for their swift and responsive actions this week.”
