Our
Community
Binger-Oney
community is geographically located seventy miles southwest of Oklahoma City.
It is located in the northern half of Caddo County. The community includes
a rural area centered around the small towns of Binger and Albert (Oney).
The population of this area is approximately 1500.
The
area is a diversified agricultural area. Cotton, wheat, potatoes, peanuts,
vegetables, hay, and livestock are grown and marketed in the surrounding
community. Because the production and marketing of these crops require much
labor, seasonal and permanent job opportunities are available. The
seasonal jobs normally extend from six to nine months.
Two
oil related industries are in operation near Binger. These employ a number of
people.
Caddo
Electric Cooperative, which is our local Rural Electric Cooperative, is located three miles
west of Binger. It serves electricity to all or part of eight counties.
This
cooperative, and Imation production plant (3M) in
Weatherford offer job opportunities to the residents of the Binger-Oney area.
In addition
to these employment opportunities, a fifty-bed nursing home provides employment
for this area. Although Binger is a small town, the people are fortunate
to have a part-time doctor and clinic. Adjacent to the clinic is the
pharmacy owned and operated by a qualified pharmacist.
Parkview Ambulance services this area and
two volunteer fire departments are
available to the citizens of the Binger-Oney community.
