In Oklahoma, natural disasters are a tragic reality. Every year, disasters disrupt different parts of our state, leaving behind lasting effects on Oklahomans and property. After a disaster, many in our community need help and first responders may not be able to assist right away. That is why it’s important to Get Ready now. You and your family can take simple steps to Get Ready for emergencies and mitigate your risks. Here are some very easy but essential things you can do to get ready.

As part of the Oklahoma Quality Beef Network (OQBN), the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service (OCES) is offering a series of Spring Calf Health Clinics across Oklahoma in May.

The 69th National Land and Range Judging Contest that will attract students from across the nation to the Oklahoma City area on May 5, 2022 is back. After a two-year layoff because of the pandemic, the national competition is back. For the 2019 competition, students –– as well as their coaches and sponsors –– traveled from more than 30 states to Oklahoma for the prestigious event. The interview opportunities with students and leaders are great and the visuals are outstanding as students not only study the surface, but also go down into trenches that are about 4 feet deep.

Ashton Barnett: “He’s been here four years, and he’s kind of our spark plug. He’s our lead off, he’s a center fielder, and he’s just a great talent. When he’s on, he’s one of the best in southeast Oklahoma, I believe, and he’s helped us quite a bit. He’s gotten on base quite a bit.”
