Blayne Arthur was recognized with the Distinguished Service to Oklahoma Farm Bureau Award on Saturday, Nov. 8, during the organization’s 84th annual meeting in Oklahoma City.
The award honors individuals who have made outstanding contributions to agriculture and the Farm Bureau organization.
Arthur has been a partner with Farm Bureau and a strong voice for Oklahoma agriculture on the local, state and national level since being appointed secretary of agriculture by Gov. Kevin Stitt in 2019.
“It was certainly a surprise to be recognized by Oklahoma Farm Bureau, a group of people I respect very much,” Arthur said. “I feel very humbled to be selected for the award, and I am appreciative of all of the Farm Bureau members and the work Farm Bureau does, and I am just very honored to be recognized.”
Arthur grew up in Chickasha, where she and her family raised cattle, horses, wheat, alfalfa and soybeans. She is a longtime Farm Bureau member, and she and her husband, Jerrod, raise show cattle for 4-H and FFA members alongside their two children.
