The Oklahoma Ag Tag is a specialty license plate for your vehicle. The colorful new plate promotes “Oklahoma Agriculture” and features an Oklahoma farm scene. Purchasing an Ag Tag is a way to contribute to Oklahoma Ag in the Classroom, which provides training and educational materials about Oklahoma agriculture to teachers and teaches Oklahoma students about the importance of agriculture in our daily lives. We tried to think of a few questions you might have and answered them for you in advance.

Q. What is the purpose of the Oklahoma Ag Tag?
A. The Oklahoma Ag Tag is a specialty license plate that will promote agriculture awareness “on the road” and provide a way to contribute to Oklahoma Ag in the Classroom.

Q. What is Oklahoma Ag in the Classroom?
A. Oklahoma Ag in the Classroom is a joint project of the Oklahoma State Department of Agriculture, Oklahoma State University and the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Focusing on Oklahoma students in grades Kindergarten through 6th, the purpose of Ag in the Classroom is building agriculture literacy. Curriculum developed to that end uses agriculture-related activities and research-based background material to teach core curriculum in language arts, math, science, reading, information skills, social studies, and the visual arts.

Q. How much does the Ag Tag cost?
A. The plate costs just $25.00. $24.00 of the price of the tag goes directly to the Oklahoma Ag in the Classroom program.

Q. How do I get one?
A. Pick up an application today or request an application from Jamey Allen at the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, P.O. Box 528804, OKC, OK 73152-8804. You may also contact the agency at 1-800-580-6543 and leave your name and address to receive an application. Or you can download a copy here.Complete the application and return it and a $27.00 check made payable to the Oklahoma Tax Commission. Your application will be mailed directly to your home or office. The cost of each tag $25 plus a $2 mailing fee by the Oklahoma Tax Commission.

Q. Will the Ag Tag replace my existing tag?
A. It’s up to you. The Ag Tag can serve as your official car tag. However, if you don’t want to replace your old car tag then you can display the Ag Tag on the front of your vehicle.

Q. For how long is the Ag Tag valid?
A. If you choose to use the Ag Tag as your official license plate, then your Ag Tag is renewable at a cost of $25.00 plus a $1.00 mailing fee, in addition to the price of your regular car tag. Twenty-four dollars of the cost will continue to be earmarked for Oklahoma Ag in the Classroom. If you choose not to renew your Ag Tag, you can still display the specialty tag on the front of your vehicle. However, allowing your tag to lapse means that your number could be re-assigned to someone else, and you would have to contact the Special Plates Section of the Oklahoma Tax Commission if you ever wanted to renew that tag for official use.

Q. Why should I buy an Ag Tag?
A. They’re really eye-catching and the very first Ag Tags in Oklahoma! And…the vast majority of Oklahomans are several generations removed from direct experience with farming. They live in urban and suburban areas. Ask school children where their food comes from and they will tell you “the grocery store”, and clothes, “come from the mall”. As more and more citizens become further removed from firsthand knowledge about agriculture, the need intensifies to connect them with agriculture in other ways. Through Oklahoma Ag in the Classroom, teachers attend summer institutes and in-service training. A quarterly newsletter, “The Cornerpost”, an Ag Day poster contest, a school-year Ag in the Classroom calendar complete with daily ag-facts and ag-related lesson references, videos, guest speakers, model barns, and more. These are only a few of the Ag in the Classroom components that generate excitement among students and teachers by offering opportunities for hands-on learning experiences using real life materials, everyday situations and current issues. Your purchase of an Ag Tag will help insure that future generations will understand the importance of agriculture.

If you have other questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Jamey Allen @ 405.522.6768.
