Mike Kubicek, executive director of the Oklahoma Peanut Commission, has been named a 2008 recipient of the Oklahoma State University Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources' Distinguished Agricultural Alumni Award.

His success as the leader of Oklahoma's peanut industry has elevated him to the national and international stage of commodity research, production and marketing.

"The successes of our agriculture alumni are appreciated by everyone representing all three aspects of the division: the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources and our two state agencies, the Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station system and the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service," said Robert E. Whitson, DASNR vice president, dean and director. more...

Whitson said Kubicek and his fellow distinguished agriculture alumni are held in the highest regard, in part because OSU agriculture and natural resource students can face positive futures from the strong examples created by such role models.

"They are truly pioneers in their respective fields of agriculture," he said.

Kubicek has long been associated with DASNR programs, having joined the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service after earning his bachelor's and master's degrees in agronomy from OSU in 1970 and 1972, respectively. He served as Alfalfa County Extension director and as a Texas County 4-H agent. more...
