No Till on the Plains Going Virtual ONLY on January 26th
Due to COVID-19 related restrictions in Wichita, No-till on the Plains is canceling the in-person portion of the 2021 Winter Conference. The group had held out hope that they might be able to gather, knowing that this annual networking experience is one of the most anticipated and valued aspects of the Winter Conference.

In a statement issued Monday, No Till on the Plains pledges "We promise to return to in-person opportunities as soon as possible. Because we had planned for this contingency, your conference lineup will continue as advertised. You will get the same great quality content you would have received on-site."

"Thank you for helping us navigate this unprecedented but very temporary interruption to our 25-year tradition and for your continued commitment to healthier soil."

The 2021 Virtual Edition of No Till on the Plains will be a one day session on January 26, 2021. To register and get more information, click on the Button below.

Rural Oklahoma is full of some of the greatest success stories throughout the entire state and are a main reason Oklahoma is on track to become a top 10 state.

The Road to Rural Prosperity will dive into these stories each week bringing you insight into the great things happening in and to rural Oklahoma. We will bring you stories covering rural life, agriculture, energy, healthcare, tourism and politics all affecting rural America.

The Road to Rural Prosperity is here to tell stories about rural America, for rural America.

Host Ron Hays travels the Road to Rural Prosperity with mixed feelings as he talks with Roy Lee Lindsey of OkPork- who has just announced his resignation as Executive Director as the head of the group representing hog farmers in Oklahoma- as he prepares to take a similar position with the North Carolina Pork Council- North Carolina the second largest pork state in the US.

Today's Road to Rural Prosperity is being sponsored in part by the Oklahoma Rural Water Association.
