Burlington, Oklahoma, native Samantha Smith recently joined Oklahoma Farm Bureau as a communications specialist.
Smith is an agricultural communications graduate from Oklahoma State University. After interning with the OKFB communications team in the summer of 2013, Smith said the organization was a perfect fit.
“I am so excited to continue my work with Oklahoma Farm Bureau,” Smith said. “I feel very fortunate to be working for an organization that has the interests of rural Oklahomans at heart.”
Smith grew up on a primarily wheat-producing farm in Amorita, Oklahoma. Her passion for agriculture stemmed from her first-hand experience on the farm, and she plans to use her skills in communications to further the mission of OKFB.
“I want to advocate for agriculture and the farmers and ranchers in rural Oklahoma,” Smith said. “Oklahoma Farm Bureau is allowing me to find creative ways to do that.”
