Former Oklahoma Wheat Grower Association President Jimmy Musick of Sentinel has been elected by the National Association of Wheat Growers' Board of Directors as the group's Secretary for the coming year. Musick steps into the National Officer Chair Rotation for the group, which will place him in the national leadership of the organization for the next five years. Musick currently serves on the Board of Directors for the National Wheat Foundation, and has spent time as Chairman for that group.
Musick spoke with Farm Director Ron Hays of the Radio Oklahoma Ag Network at the end of the NAWG Board meeting in Phoenix that was being held in conjunction with the 20th Annual Commodity Classic. Musick told Hays that "it's going to be an honor to serve the wheat growers across not only the state of Oklahoma but also across the nation- I'm looking forward to that opportunity." He added that "wheat is a great crop- a great commodity and we're looking forward to building those relationships with millers and bakers and maybe our relations with Cuba and perhaps some other countries to increase exports- and the bottom line is to increase the profitability of our wheat growers across the country."
One priority that Musick has for NAWG to be a part of in the next few years is wave of technology that is rolling across all of agriculture. "We really do think that there is going to be some great things done in wheat research and technology and looking forward to those improvements."
