Sponsored in part by Oklahoma Farm Bureau, Oklahoma State University and the USDA Farm Service Agency are teaming up to bring Oklahoma producers the most up-to-date information on federal farm programs in 14 meetings held around the state from late September through late November. The meetings will provide information about farm programs, market outlook and decision tools to help farmers determine the best strategy.
The meetings are planned to occur in the same time frame in which farmers will be offered the chance to re-elect to either Agricultural Risk Coverage or Price Loss Coverage this fall for the 2019 and 2020 crop years.
The meetings are free to attend, but participants are asked to register online here or contact the Extension office at the number listed below the date.
