Oklahoma Farm Bureau recognized nine of the state’s top agricultural advocates to receive the Oklahoma Farm Bureau 2014 Champion Award.
The OKFB Champion Award is presented to legislators and political leaders who go above and beyond to protect and improve agriculture and rural Oklahoma during the legislative session.

Mike Sanders, Kingfisher; Sen. Brian Bingman, Sapulpa; Sen. A.J. Griffin, Guthrie; Sen. Ron Justice, Chickasha; and Sen. Bryce Marlatt, Woodward.
