Oklahoma’s Official Agricultural Information Site

  • Welcome!

    Terry Peach, Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture

    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.

Artist That Created SASDA Sculpture Featured in Today’s Journal Record

Ice Sculpture At Last Week's OCA SASDA Reception

Ice Sculpture At Last Week's OCA SASDA Reception


One of the highlights of last week’s Southern Association of State Departments of Agriculture conference was the reception hosted by the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association. Scott Dewald and his crew really pulled out all the stops to give the southern commissioners and secretaries of agriculture a real treat with excellent foods and beverages.

One of the nicest things was an ice sculpture of a cowboy hat perched atop a pair of boots. Everyone attending took pictures with their cameras or camera phones…I don’t think any single item was photographed more all week!

Today’s Journal Record features a great story by Brian Brus on the artist who created that sculpture and tells a little more about the trade. Click here for the full story.
