The Oklahoma Farm Bureau Women’s Leadership Committee served nearly 600 meals during their annual Farm City Festival at the Oklahoma state Capitol, Thursday, Feb. 12.
WLC members shared the agriculture story with legislators during the group’s annual event that connects Farm Bureau women with state legislators and their staff.
“It is an honor to serve our state lawmakers and their staff at Farm City Festival,” said Mignon Bolay, OKFB WLC chair. “We are thankful for their support of rural Oklahoma and the agriculture industry, and we appreciate the opportunity to share the story of our state’s hardworking farmers and ranchers with them every year.”
WLC members hosted a lunch in the second-floor rotunda of the Capitol for legislators, their staff and Capitol employees to thank them for supporting policies that enable Oklahoma farmers and ranchers to continue providing food, fuel and fiber for a growing world.
The meal featured made-in-Oklahoma foods, which included dozens of home-baked desserts provided by county Farm Bureau members and nearly 60 loaves of bread baked fresh by OKFB Vice President David VonTungeln.
The meal was served to legislators, staff and guests by members of the state WLC committee along with 40 county WLC members from around the state. The Farm Bureau women took the opportunity to visit with legislators and share the importance of the role agriculture plays in Oklahoma and how Farm Bureau supports family farmers and ranchers.
