The Oklahoma Agribusiness Retailers Association, Oklahoma Seed Trade Association and Oklahoma Wheat Growers Association are managed by the Oklahoma Grain and Feed Association. The Oklahoma Grain and Feed Association was organized in 1898 and was run by several individuals until 1971 when the Enid Board of Trade assumed management. The Oklahoma Seed Trade Association was added in 1981. In 1989, the Oklahoma Plant Food Educational Society and the Oklahoma Ag Chemical Association combined to form the Oklahoma Fertilizer and Chemical Association (the name was changed in 2002 to Oklahoma Agribusiness Retailers Association). In 1998, The Enid Board of Trade was dissolved and its assets and employees were assumed by the Oklahoma Grain and Feed Association. The Oklahoma Wheat Growers’ Association was added in 2016. The management team takes pride in being the “go to” source for all types of information affecting a member’s business operation for each of its Associations. If you have questions, concerns or need assistance in any aspect of your business we are here to help you.
Message from the OGFA Chairman of the Board
As you have been made aware, OGFA is losing its long time President/CEO and industry leader Joe Neal Hampton with the announcement of his retirement. Joe has been known and recognized as a leader, spokesman, and advocate in Oklahoma Agribusiness for his entire career. His presence, awareness, knowledge, and understanding of our business will truly be missed. His legacy shall live long within our industry and our State. We will be forever grateful and indebted to such an important icon within our industry as he leaves to pursue other interests in his retirement years. We will wish him well when that time comes.
We have made plans to have a formal recognition of his 47 years of service during the OGFA annual meeting scheduled May 4th, 2020. You will not want to miss this opportunity to share your thoughts and regards with Joe on this special occasion.
As a final note – The transition committee will be forthcoming with information later this month, to those which may have interest in making application for the position, posted on the OGFA website. https://www.oklahomaag.com
Kind Regards
Steve Sweeney
