Oklahoma Farm Bureau President Rodd Moesel issued the following statement Tuesday after learning of the passing of Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe:
“Oklahoma Farm Bureau members were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Sen. Jim Inhofe. Sen. Inhofe was a remarkable leader and wonderful friend to agriculture and rural Oklahoma since his time in the state legislature more than 50 years ago.
“During his tenure in the U.S. Senate, Sen. Inhofe was awarded the American Farm Bureau Golden Plow Award, AFBF’s Distinguished Service to Agriculture Award, and OKFB’s Distinguished Service Award – the highest honors from both organizations. His commitment to serving his fellow Oklahomans through his time in both the U.S. House and Senate leaves a lasting legacy for years to come, and we are forever grateful for his service to Oklahoma agriculture.
“Sen. Inhofe will be greatly missed, and our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Kay, and his family.”
