Anderson joins OKFB staff as new northeastern area field representative

Alisen Anderson of Fairland has joined Oklahoma Farm Bureau as northeastern field representative.

In her new position, Anderson will assist 14 county Farm Bureaus in northeastern Oklahoma with programs, activities and operations as she serves as a liaison between the county organizations and the statewide OKFB organization.

Anderson joins the OKFB staff after years of involvement in the organization as an active Farm Bureau member. Anderson has served as Ottawa County Farm Bureau president; OKFB Young Farmers and Ranchers Chair with her husband, Jared, from 2022-2023; and on the national level as a member of the American Farm Bureau YF&R committee from 2022-2024.

Anderson also fostered the growth of the Collegiate Farm Bureau chapter at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College in Miami when she worked as an instructor at the school and served as chapter adviser.

"For years, my Farm Bureau family has pushed and guided me to pursue so many opportunities in agriculture to better our industry," Anderson said. "Now, I get to give back every day to those same people. I am finally home, right where I belong, working for the farmers and ranchers who are feeding our world. I now get to work alongside of people who dedicate their life to telling the ag story, and I couldn't be more grateful to be part of their family. I am home."

Anderson, her husband and her three children own and operate a farm and ranch in Ottawa County where they grow wheat, corn, soybeans and other crops in addition to managing their cattle herd.
