Did you know that SQ 832 would tie Oklahoma's minimum wage to a federal price index, automatically increasing when prices go up in California or the east coast? If SQ 832 passes, our state's minimum wage will automatically increase beginning in 2030 onward depending on the federal Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, or CPI-W. That takes local control away from hardworking Oklahomans and will inflate prices here at home. Rising costs in other states shouldn't dictate what we do or pay here in Oklahoma. Vote No on SQ 832 on June 16, and learn more at: https://www.okfarmbureau.org/sq832/

There's more to SQ 832 than meets the eye for family farmers and ranchers. Hiding behind the promises of increased wages, SQ 832 would remove longstanding exemptions for agricultural labor that provide flexibility for workers on Oklahoma's farms and ranches to work longer days when it is critical to get crops harvested or livestock handled when time is money. With agricultural input costs skyrocketing and suppressed commodity prices farmers face, squeezing our local farms with increased labor costs will cut even further into the viability of our family agriculturalists. Vote NO on SQ 832 June 16. Learn more: okfarmbureau.org/sq832

Oklahomans will vote on SQ 832 in the June 16 primary election, and while the intentions of raising our state’s minimum wage may look appealing at a glance, SQ 832 itself removes long-standing agricultural exemptions that provide farmers and ranchers with labor flexibility. SQ 832 would also tie our state’s minimum wage to a federal price index, taking control out of the hands of Oklahomans. OKFB strongly opposes SQ 832 and the increased labor costs it will bring, which will only ignite even higher costs for consumers. Vote NO on June 16, and learn more on our website: okfb.news/sq832

🖍️🌱 Did you know that a single acre of soybeans can produce an amazing 82,368 crayons? That's right, your child's favorite art supply has deep roots in agriculture!

Soybean oil isn't just for cooking—it makes crayons more vibrant, creates that perfect smooth glide across paper, and keeps those colorful creations from flaking away.

Next time your little artist reaches for their crayon box, you'll know there's a bit of agriculture inside!
