Oklahoma Peanut Commission Seeks National Peanut Board Nominees
The Oklahoma Peanut Commission seeks eligible peanut producers who are interested in serving on the National Peanut Board. The OPC will hold a nominations election to select two nominees each for member and alternate to the NPB during the Oklahoma Peanut Expo on March 15 at 12:45pm at the Quartz Mountain Resort near Lone Wolf, OK. All eligible peanut producers are encouraged to participate. Eligible producers are those who are engaged in the production and sale of peanuts and who own or share the ownership and risk of loss of the crop.


Gayle White of Frederick is the current Oklahoma NPB member and Les Crall of Weatherford serves as the alternate. The term of the current Oklahoma board member and alternate expires Dec. 31, 2013.


USDA requires two nominees from each state for each position of member and alternate. The National Peanut Board will submit Oklahoma's slate of nominees to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, who makes the appointments.


The NPB encourages inclusion of persons of any race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation and marital or family status. NPB encourages all persons who qualify as peanut producers to attend the Expo and run for nomination.


It is USDA's policy that membership on industry-government boards and committees accurately reflect the diversity of individuals served by the programs.


The National Peanut Board represents all USA peanut farmers and their families. The mission of the Board is to provide USA peanut growers with a receptive and growing market for their peanuts and the information and tools for improved efficiencies. Through research and marketing initiatives the Board is finding new ways to enhance production and increase consumer demand by promoting the great taste, nutrition and culinary versatility of USA-grown peanuts.
