Today the board of the Enid Regional Development Alliance voted to support State Question 777 also known as the Right to Farm issue. The vote was intended to show support for the agriculture industry in Northwest Oklahoma and the value added agriculture employers in Enid.
Tom Evans, the ERDA Chairman of the Board, said, "Agriculture is the backbone of our economy in Northwest Oklahoma. The Enid Regional Development Alliance voted to support SQ 777 to show our great ag related employers in NW Oklahoma that we support their efforts to feed and clothe the world."
Enid, Oklahoma is home to Hanor Companies, AdvancePierre Foods, Johnston Seed, Consolidated Grain and Barge, ADM, other agriculture service companies, and thousands of family farms which all contribute greatly to the local economy. ERDA believes passage of SQ 777 will allow agriculture to continue to grow and prosper in the region.
Brent Kisling, the Executive Director for ERDA said, "I am pleased that our board has recognized the importance of agriculture in Northwest Oklahoma and has made a statement supporting their efforts. Enid is certainly a pro-ag community."
The mission of the Enid Regional Development Alliance is to assure the economic prosperity of Enid and the surrounding area.
