Who owns the most land in Oklahoma? This family ranks among highest in nation

An Oklahoma family ranks among the biggest landowners in the country, according to the latest 2026 data from World Population Review . The Drummond family, which includes Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond and the "Pioneer Woman" Ree Drummond, owns 433,000 acres of land in the state within Osage, Pawnee and Noble counties. The Drummond family's land ownership in Oklahoma dates back to ancestor Frederick Drummond, a Scottish immigrant who came to the former Osage Nation in Indian Territory in 1886. World Population Review ranked the family as the 23rd biggest landowner in the country, but noted that the Drummonds were not included in recent Land Report top 100 lists, which could indicate a change in ownership. There have been no reports that the Drummonds no longer own their land. According to a Bloomberg report, the Drummonds amassed the land due to the money made off of, or borrowed from, the Osage people in the early 20th Century. This practice gained worldwide attention after the release of the Oscar-winning film "Killers of the Flower Moon," directed by Martin Scorsese. The movie, inspired by a book of the same name, depicts the mass murder of the Osage people for their headrights, which

Forget tax cuts. Fix what's wrong to spur growth, Williams CEO says | Opinion

Oklahoma's legislative leaders are getting good advice these days. The question is: will they listen and do anything different? Will we see a change in the dynamics of the debate in next year’s legislative session because we'll have a new governor after the November election and possibly at least a small dilution in the overwhelming Republican majority in the state House and Senate? Some suggestions are coming from Chad Zamarin, the CEO of the Williams Company in Tulsa, who paid a visit to The Oklahoman this week. Williams is now the largest energy firm still maintaining its headquarters in Oklahoma. In the 1920s, Tulsa was the undisputed “Oil Capital of the World,” home to hundreds of companies big and small. But in recent years Houston has taken over as the commercial and financial hub of the global petrochemical industry. Phillips Petroleum Company in the early 2000s moved its headquarters to Houston when it merged with Conoco, and more recently Devon and Expand have followed suit. Zamarin was in Oklahoma City for a conversation with state legislators about what his company – and likely many others – are looking for. He told them it's not tax breaks. It's not multi-million-dollar incentives.

New food trailer just down the road offers healthy bites

There's something buzzing in Holliday, and it's the town's newest small business, B-Boe's Bites and Beverages. The family-owned food trailer has been in operation for over a week about 15 miles down the road from Wichita Falls, offering handcrafted drinks, desserts, and treats. Owner Tamilyn Robinson named the business after her childhood nickname, "B-Boe," which was given to her by her late father. Robinson operates the food trailer with four of her daughters: October, Justyce, Jocelynn Love and Koko Gollihar — with family friend Jeremiah Burns dressed in the bee mascot costume. All four daughters including Robinson have a certified food handlers license. According to Robinson, her husband Jonathan helps out with the finances, utilities and maintenance while also giving credit to her mother, Tammy Fletcher, for helping out with prepping on prep days. The food trailer is set up at 201 E. Olive St. in Holliday from 6-9 a.m. Monday-Friday with cold-serve options only. "For our breakfast options we went pretty healthy on everything, said Robinson.
