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.
Upcoming Events
2020 Oklahoma Ag Expo - Canceled
After much consideration and deliberation, the directors of the Oklahoma Grain and Feed Association (OGFA) and the Oklahoma Agribusiness Retailers Association (OARA) have voted to cancel the 2020 Oklahoma Ag Expo. This was a difficult decision to make but the boards believe it to be in the best interest of the membership and the associations.
Planning continues for golf and sporting clay outdoor events to raise funds for scholarships for Oklahoma State University’s Department of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. OGFA and OARA have combined commitments of $11,750 in scholarships at OSU. We are developing plans to ensure the safety and continued success of these outdoor activities and hope you will help us put the “fun” into our fundraising!
We are aware of the need for continuing education for our pesticide applicators as well as our certified crop advisers. We are working to develop virtual education opportunities as well as smaller in-person regional meetings to ensure that members can maintain their certifications. We will be posting these events soon.
The association boards and staff thank you for your support. Please mark your calendars for the 2021 Oklahoma Ag Expo to be held November 1-3 at the Embassy Suites Hotel & Convention Center in Norman. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. As always, your staff stands ready to assist you.
