We also feature Okmulgee County Farm Bureau member Tim Taylor, an agriculture education instructor who teaches non-traditional students to help them find a place in agriculture to learn and grow.
The magazine also features columns, the latest news and updates on OKFB events, a preview of our 2022 annual meeting and more.
