The election will be held Tuesday, October 25, 2011, commencing at 2 p.m. at the Caddo-Kiowa Technology Center, 1 Career Tech Road, Ft. Cobb, OK. District IV consists of Caddo, Comanche, Cotton, Greer, Harmon, Jackson, Kiowa, and Tillman Counties.

Candidates wishing to run in the election must be at least 25 years old, a resident of District IV of the State of Oklahoma, engaged in growing wheat in Oklahoma for at least five years and must derive a substantial portion of his/her income from growing wheat.


Nominations will be made at the election and the three nominations with the most votes will be sent to the Governor of Oklahoma. The Governor will then appoint one person to serve the remainder of the current term with the Oklahoma Wheat Commission. The current term expires in 2014.


The Commission's Vacancy Meeting, which is open to the public, will begin at noon, and the election will begin promptly at 2 p.m.


Every wheat producer in the district is urged to participate in this important election. For further information, contact the OWC office at (405) 608- 4350.


The Oklahoma Wheat Commission promotes greater utilization of wheat in both domestic and international markets through research, market development and public education.
