Governor Fallin Appoints Stephens to Serve the Oklahoma Wheat Commission
Governor Mary Fallin recently reappointed Tom Stephens to an additional 5-year term with the Oklahoma Wheat Commission (OWC). Stephens, a wheat producer from Guymon, will continue to represent District II. The OWC's District II consists of Beaver, Cimarron, Ellis, Harper, Texas, Woods and Woodward Counties.

"We are excited that Tom Stephens has been reappointed to fill the District II position on the OWC Board," said Mike Schulte, Executive Director of the OWC. "His knowledge and experience with wheat production as a farmer and his active roles previously held with the OWC Board and U.S. Wheat Associates Board will continue to make him a valuable leader for the wheat industry on both state and national levels."

Stephens' 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.

He and his wife Phyllis currently farm approximately 8000 acres with 3000 acres of that in wheat production.

Stephens has served in every office of the Texas County Fair Board over the past 34 years. He is on the board of Guymon Church of the Nazarene, on the research advisory board of Oklahoma Panhandle State University at Goodwell, and was a school board member for 12 years. He is also a member of the Texas County Irrigation & Water Resources Association, Texas County Mineral Owners Association, Southwest Kansas Royalty Owners Association, National Grain Sorghum Producers, National Corn Growers Association and the Oklahoma Farm Bureau.

He joins current commission members Tom Glazier, Loyal; Don Schieber, Ponca City; Kenneth Failes, Cherokee; and David Gammill, Chattanooga.
