As agriculturists our jobs haven’t changed much from generation to generation but the way we do them sure has! Our roles as providers of the nation’s food and fiber and stewards of the land remain the same but just as we rely on new technologies to become more efficient as producers, we find we now need to find new ways to use them to communicate with each other.
That’s why we have created this blog. Almost 60 percent of the population now depends on the internet for news and other information. The daily and weekly newspapers are still out there (and we still depend on them to reach thousands of Oklahomans) but for all of you who prefer the speed and convenience of electronic communications, this blog is for you.
Let us know what you think and please interact on this site with your thoughts and comments. We are counting on you to let us know what you think and suggest things and ideas that will improve this site and provide you with the information you are looking for.
Terry Peach, Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture

Secretary Peach was invited to visit the Langston University campus today for a look at one of their newest beautification projects, the planting of a variety of oaks.
“This is one of the most beautiful campuses in America,” he told Langston President, Dr. JoAnn Haysbert. “The changes and improvements made to this campus over the last decade are just astounding.”
We look forward to watching these trees mature, although as Secretary Peach quipped, “Our grandkids are the ones who will get to see them fully matured!”
Congratulations to Langston University for all the progress it is making!
–Jack Carson
