Dave Deken is an Oklahoma-rooted agricultural communicator and host of the Red Dirt Agronomy Podcast from AgNow Media. His work with the Oklahoma Wheat Commission, Kansas Wheat, Oklahoma State University Agriculture’s research and Extension programs, and other commodity organizations helps connect producers and the public with the people, science, and decisions behind agriculture.

Through podcasts, field reports, crop updates, producer interviews, and on-camera storytelling, Dave translates topics such as weather, soil, crops, markets, research, and rural life into clear, practical information. His goal is straightforward: help people better understand agriculture, recognize its importance, and learn from those who work in it every day.
