OKFB hosts first of several meetings on private property rights

Oklahoma Farm Bureau held the first of several public meetings on private property rights on Wednesday, Aug. 14 at the Lincoln County fairgrounds in Chandler.

This educational meeting was organized to focus on the importance of private property rights in Oklahoma with recent wind farm development throughout the state.

Almost 90 attendees joined to express their concerns and ask questions regarding these recent developments that have the potential to significantly impact family farms and ranches.

"Oklahoma Farm Bureau has a long history of advocating for private property rights, and we were proud to offer local community members the opportunity to share their experiences and thoughts on how renewable energy projects impact landowner rights and property values," said Rodd Moesel, OKFB president. "OKFB believes in local, grassroots input, and we appreciate the involvement and input from area residents, which will help our organization better understand and represent rural voices through ongoing discussions about renewable energy projects."

OKFB will announce additional private property rights meetings as details are made available. For more information, contact Kinsey Westwood of Oklahoma Farm Bureau at (405) 523-2300.
