Ten Oklahoma lawmakers were honored with the 2023 Oklahoma Farm Bureau Champion award at the organization’s annual leadership conference on Tuesday, Feb. 13, in Oklahoma City.
The OKFB Champion award is presented to state lawmakers who serve as exemplary advocates for Oklahoma agriculture, going above and beyond for the state’s farmers and ranchers during the 2023 legislative session.
Champion award recipients were Oklahoma House Speaker Charles McCall, Atoka; Rep. John Pfeiffer, Orlando; Rep. Dell Kerbs, Shawnee; Rep. David Hardin, Stilwell; Rep. Anthony Moore, Clinton; Sen. Brent Howard, Altus; Sen. Lonnie Paxton, Tuttle; Sen. Darcy Jech, Kingfisher; Sen. Chris Kidd, Waurika; and Sen. Chuck Hall, Perry.
“As Oklahomans, we are fortunate to have state legislators who understand the important role agriculture plays in our state,” said Rodd Moesel, OKFB president. “We are proud to honor these individuals for their service to agriculture and rural Oklahoma through their work at the state Capitol.” Award winners were nominated by county Farm Bureau members and the OKFB board of directors.
