AFR/OFU Lobbies at State Capitol for Oklahoma's Rural Citizens

AFR/OFU Lobbies at State Capitol for Oklahoma’s Rural Citizens
American Farmers & Ranchers/Oklahoma Farmers Union (AFR/OFU) hosted its State Capitol Legislative Action Day April 29. Through the event, AFR/OFU strives to connect organization members with their respective legislators.


The event also unites AFR/OFU members from across Oklahoma as they lobby for rural values, family and agricultural legislation. This year's issues included rural and urban water conservation measures, water transfer and storage rights, drought-relief funding and livestock canine protection.


"Rural issues are the heart of what we're about as a company," said AFR/OFU President Terry Detrick. "Without our state's agricultural producers and rural citizens, Oklahoma would be unable to thrive economically and socially."


In addition to lobbying with individual legislators, the AFR/OFU group also met with Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture Jim Reese and Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John Doak.


"As a cooperative, we put our membership first," said Detrick. "State legislation on rural and insurance issues directly affects our membership, and we strive to be involved and informed throughout the legislative process."
