OKFB to kick off grassroots policy development season with August Area Meetings

Oklahoma Farm Bureau members around the state are invited to gather and discuss the issues and policies impacting agriculture at the organization’s annual August Area Meetings.

The meetings serve as the beginning of Farm Bureau’s grassroots policy development season. OKFB members are encouraged to bring their ideas for potential changes and updates to the organization’s policy that will help agriculture and rural Oklahoma.

In addition to policy discussions, updates on numerous OKFB programs and events will be shared by committee members and staff.

A total of 11 meetings will be held across all nine Farm Bureau districts. Each meeting begins at 6 p.m. and will include a meal. OKFB members can attend the area meeting that is most convenient for them.

After each area meeting, OKFB members will draft grassroots policy proposals in the form of resolutions that will be presented first at county resolutions meetings held in September and October. Resolutions that pass the county level will be presented to the state resolutions committee, which will meet in October, and resolutions approved by the state committee will be passed along to the delegate body at the 2025 OKFB annual meeting in Oklahoma City in November to be considered and voted upon.

OKFB’s grassroots policy positions guide the organization’s advocacy efforts at both the state and national level as Farm Bureau works to represent family agriculture in Oklahoma City and Washington, D.C.

For questions about OKFB’s August Area Meetings, members can contact their field representative or the OKFB public policy department at (405) 523-2300.
