The OKFB Commodity Committee will host an organizational meeting, July 7, at the home office in Oklahoma City. Members are invited to attend the program to learn more about the role of Farm Bureau commodity committees and to discuss ideas for the future of the OKFB Commodity Committee.
“This is an opportunity for members to talk about their needs as producers and what resources the commodity committee can provide to help them in their operations,” said Todd Honer, OKFB director of commodities and safety services. “We would like to get input from members across the state so we can begin to make a roadmap for the committee.”
Program topics on Monday afternoon will include overviews on how commodity committees are utilized in other states and on the national level. Members will also have the chance to learn more about how unmanned aerial systems are improving precision agriculture.
A tentative schedule for the event is below and will be updated as we get closer to the meeting date.
