OKFB recognizes four Oklahoma legislators with Champion Awards

Oklahoma Farm Bureau recognized four Oklahoma legislators during the organization's 85th annual meeting for their commitment to agriculture and Oklahoma's rural communities during the 2026 legislative session.

OKFB's Champion Award recognizes legislators who served as exemplary advocates for Oklahoma agriculture, going above and beyond for the state's farmers and ranchers during Oklahoma's 2026 legislative session.

Champion Awards were presented to Sen. Tom Woods, Sen. Casey Murdock, Rep. David Hardin and Rep. Brad Boles for their work on agriculture issues including the state's decades-old poultry lawsuit in eastern Oklahoma, private property rights, groundwater usage, agricultural employee workers' compensation and more.

"These four legislators have been outstanding friends to agriculture and rural Oklahoma," said OKFB President Stacy Simunek. "Their dedication to protecting and upholding our rural way of life has been proven time and time again as they advocate for agriculture and their fellow Oklahomans through their work in the Oklahoma legislature."

Each legislator received a plaque to commemorate their commitment to agricultural policy and representing family farmers and ranchers.
