Governor Mary Fallin has appointed David Gammill as a member of the Oklahoma Wheat Commission. Gammill, a wheat producer from Chattanooga, will fill the partial term left vacant by the death of Jeff Krehbiel. Gammill will represent District IV, which consists of Caddo, Comanche, Cotton, Greer, Harmon, Jackson, Kiowa and Tillman counties.
"We are excited that David Gammill has been appointed to fill the vacant position on the Oklahoma Wheat Commission board," said Mike Schulte, CEO of the Oklahoma Wheat Commission. "His knowledge and experience with wheat production as a farmer and his active roles previously held with the Oklahoma Wheat Growers Association, Cotton County Farm Bureau and various other groups will prove well for him to be a leader for our industry, which is what Oklahoma needs in this position."
Gammill's responsibilities as a member of the commission include working with the other members to develop and oversee the implementation of policy and programs, approve budget expenditures, direct the funding of research, market development and public education, represent district producer interests and promote Oklahoma wheat.
Gammill received his Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science from Oklahoma State University. He and his wife, Debbie, currently farm approximately 2000 acres with 1300 acres of that in wheat production. He is a graduate of the Oklahoma Ag Leadership Program, participating in Class One with fellow Commissioner Don Schieber.
He joins current commission members Tom Stephens, Guymon; Tom Glazier, Loyal; Don Schieber, Ponca City and Kenneth Failes, Cherokee.
