The council was created in 2019 by Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture Blayne Arthur to develop future agricultural leaders by teaching professional skills, exposing members to diverse agricultural operations and offering short-term job experience in agriculture fields.
The 2026-2027 Ag Youth Council Class includes:
- Tyse Buck, Depew
- Colton Burns, Tuttle
- Cooper Davidson, Lawton
- Kain Dossett, Sperry
- Gentry Earson, Bixby
- Reid Groves, Beggs

- Ainslie McEndoo, Stillwater
- Jade McPeak, Checotah
- Claire Myers, Omega
- Kashen Todd, Cache
- Audrey Warner, Lawton
Council members will serve a year-long term, with approximately seven sessions and multiple volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Sessions will include visits to Oklahoma agricultural companies and organizations, opportunities to learn about the legislative process and job shadows with industry professionals.
