Oklahoma Agriculture: Past, Present, and Future
Directed by Christopher Hunt (1577 Productions) | Kirkpatrick Foundation
Since the 1800s, farming and ranching have been central to Oklahoma’s culture and identity. But as times change, the nature of agriculture has changed, too.
In this short film produced by the Kirkpatrick Foundation, the history of Oklahoma farming and ranching is presented alongside two recent developments in agricultural production: modern consolidated food processing and organic, cruelty-free farming and ranching.

Thanks to all the family farmers who work so hard to keep the rest of us fed. A special thanks to those who are willing to go the extra mile to keep our food safe and sustainable.
