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.

    Terry Peach, Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture

Enid KNID Agrifest Farm Show this Week: AFR’s Francie Tolle Will Talk About the Farm Bill

Posted by carson4575 on January 7, 2009

Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture, Terry Peach and I will be heading for Enid on Friday for the KNID Agrifest Farm Show. One of the highligts of this year’s annual show will be former ODAFF Agritourism Director, Francie Tolle, now with American Farmers and Ranchers, talking about the farm bill.

The farm show is Friday and Saturday and both admission and parking are free. Francie’s informational meeting is scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday, Jan. 9th. The show is held at the Chisholm Trail Expo Center in Enid.

We’re looking forward to hearing her discuss the new ACRE program, the permanent disaster program, payment limitations, country-of-origin labeling and other provisions included included in the 2008 farm bill. Today’s edition of the Enid News and Eagle has more about the upcoming Enid Agrifest Farm Show.
