At National Farmers Union's (NFU) 123rd Anniversary Convention, the organization awarded KC Sheperd of Radio Oklahoma Ag Network with the 2025 Milt Hakel Award for Excellence in Agricultural Journalism. Of course, our audience knows KC as our lead broadcaster who has been a part of our team for over five years and helps us deliver farm and ranch news and more on our statewide radio network, our website, social media and this email report.
Sheperd often partners with, covers and conducts interviews at AFR/Oklahoma Farmers Union (OFU) events, bringing the latest and most relevant issues for AFR/OFU members and in the agriculture industry to the ears of a larger audience. AFR/OFU President Scott Blubaugh led the efforts to nominate Sheperd for the award.
For over 35 years, the NFU has presented the Milt Hakel Award for Excellence in Agricultural Journalism award to reporters or news outlets that demonstrate exceptional coverage of agricultural issues. The award is named in honor of Milton D. Hakel, a highly respected Farmers Union communicator. In 1991, Radio Oklahoma Ag Network's Senior Farm Broadcaster, Ron Hays, received the award from the general farm group.
