The Oklahoma Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture was created with a focus on educating Oklahomans about the important role agriculture plays in our everyday lives.
The foundation strives to educate consumers about their food and connect them with the people who grow and raise it. The Growing with the Foundation for Agriculture grant program is designed to introduce students to the horticulture industry through hands-on learning of growing produce.
