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.

Alternative and renewable energy are topics of keen interest to Oklahoma agriculture and the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry. National Public Radio has a good feature on wind energy and a story about a former oil field worker that has just finished training to work in the wind farm industry.
Click here for the link about the industry and how one young family man is betting that his future lies in wind energy. “It’s the new oil field,” he says.
