In case you missed Tom Buchanan on In the Field with Ron Hays this past Saturday, here is the video of their conversation seen on KWTV News9 in Oklahoma City. Buchanan is the new President of the state's largest general farm organization, the Oklahoma Farm Bureau.
Voting delegates at the 72nd Oklahoma Farm Bureau Annual Meeting elected the Jackson County Farm Bureau member to serve as president of the organization, November 16, in Norman. Buchanan has represented District 2 on the OKFB Board of Directors for six years.
"Oklahoma Farm Bureau is the voice for rural Oklahoma and agriculture, and that's my passion," Buchanan said. "Through my service at the county level and then as a state director, I feel I have a background with the federation and with the insurance company, and I'm looking forward to serving our members."
Buchanan raises a commercial beef herd and winter wheat on his farm near Altus. He also grows irrigated cotton, when water is available. Buchanan is the manager of the Lugert-Altus Irrigation District, and he serves as vice chairman of the Oklahoma Water Resources Board.
