Ag Secretary Blayne Arthur Gives Drought Update |
While attending the American Peanut and Education Society’s Annual Meeting, Farm Director KC Sheperd visited with Oklahoma Ag Secretary Blayne Arthur about how far education and research in the ag industry have grown.
Due to Oklahoma’s varying climate with extreme drought in some years and heavy rainfall in others, producers have learned a lot of ways to manage during changes in the moisture that they receive and still be able to produce a product, whether that be peanuts or other commodities.
Arthur said, “We have a great story to tell in Oklahoma. It is a story of a lot of smart folks putting information together and getting it to the producers actually on the ground, and then recognizing the benefits that we see from that.”
The past 4 weeks have been a great example of that with much of the state experiencing flash drought conditions, finally alleviated by recent rainfall, all while the Oklahoma panhandle, which is more accustomed to dry conditions experienced catastrophic flooding.
