Your Altus Chamber of Commerce annually sponsors Farm City Week. This is the 32nd year for this important program. The purpose of this week is to highlight what agriculture means to our local economy, to inform everyone of the various agriculture crops grown and produced in Jackson County and Southwest Oklahoma, to show the importance of agriculture to our way of life, and last but not least, to show appreciation to all those involved in
