2020 AFR/OFU Voices Support for OSU County Extension Agents

Mon, 17 Feb 2020 11:06:50 CST

2020 AFR/OFU Voices Support for OSU County Extension Agents American Farmers & Ranchers/Oklahoma Farmers Union (AFR/OFU) set legislative policy for the upcoming year at the 115th Annual AFR/OFU Convention Feb. 14. Each year, organization policy includes "special orders of business" that address recent, current or future issues of significant importance to rural Oklahoma and agriculture at large.

Due to the reduced number of Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service agents in each county and the financial constraints squeezing their resources, the 2020 AFR/OFU Special Orders supports and encourages a focus on maintaining full-time extension educators in every county in Oklahoma: "We support full-time extension educators in every county in Oklahoma."
Adopted AFR/OFU policy is truly grassroots-proposed policy begins as resolutions at the local and county level.

The appointed state policy committee members that hears the resolutions and crafts policy language are an accomplished and diverse group representing the broadest spectrum possible of the general AFR/OFU membership. Because of this approach, the final policy document represents members' interests from across Oklahoma.

"The AFR/OFU policy process is a model of grassroots legislative efforts in action," said AFR/OFU Cooperative President Scott Blubaugh. "Because many of our policies originate from resolutions crafted in our local and county organizations; AFR/OFU members know their voices are heard at the state and national level."

AFR/OFU Cooperative is a membership services organization established in 1905 as Oklahoma Farmers Union. AFR/OFU provides educational, legislative and cooperative programs across the state and serves as a watchdog for Oklahoma's family farmers and ranchers and rural communities.

The organization is actively supportive of the state's agricultural industry and rural population with membership consisting of farmers actively involved in production agriculture and non-farmers adding their voice in support of AFR/OFU principles.
