Oklahoma Wheat Commission's Blog

With the ever changing scene of communications, the Oklahoma Wheat Commission has decided to participate in the blogging trend. Their blog can be found at http://okwheatcommission.wordpress.com.

The blog will connect you with harvest updates, recipes, education materials and check-off information. It is the intent of the Commission to use the newest form of communications to stay in touch with producers via the World Wide Web. As most blogs do, this one offers a spot to comment, add suggestions and upload pictures. Producers are encouraged to keep the office up-to-date with current harvest conditions around the state, so share you stories in a comment.

The Oklahoma Wheat Commission works to promote greater utilization of wheat in both domestic and international markets through research, market development and public education. Five wheat producers representing designated districts across the state serve as the Oklahoma Wheat Commission’s board of directors. Current officers are Jeff Krehbiel, chairman, Hydro; Don Schieber, vice chairman, Ponca City; Keith Kisling, secretary-treasurer; Tom Stephens, member, Guymon; and Tom Glazier, member, Loyal.

Call it a meeting of the minds – minds from universities, farming operations and agribusiness who will come together to learn and share about growing canola on the southern Great Plains.

The Fifth Annual Oklahoma-Kansas Winter Canola Conference is set for July 21 in the Hoover Building at the Garfield County Fairgrounds in Enid, OK, said canola breeder Mike Stamm.

Stamm, who works for both Kansas State University and Oklahoma State University, is one of the conference speakers.

The day begins at 8:30 a.m. with registration, coffee and doughnuts. The program starts at 9 a.m.
