More than 60 Oklahoma Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers and Collegiate Farm Bureau members took to the Oklahoma Capitol Tuesday, April 1, to advocate for agriculture and learn about the lawmaking process during the group’s YF&R and Collegiate Farm Bureau Day at the Capitol.
Members kicked off the event by attending an evening of fellowship at Top Golf in Oklahoma City, where they heard from guest speaker, HJ Reed, as he discussed the fundamentals of the legislative process to prepare for the following day’s event. Attendees then participated in an evening of playing golf and card games with fellow members.
The legislative day began with a briefing from OKFB’s public policy staff at the OKFB home office, where they shared information about OKFB priority legislation working its way through the process.
Members attended the Capitol and visited with their lawmakers and elected officials to discuss OKFB’s priority issues, along with other issues the grassroots Farm Bureau members are facing within their communities.
OKFB members closed out the event with a luncheon at the Oklahoma Historical Society, where they heard from OKFB policy staff about current initiatives and had a chance to tour the museum.
