Serving the State’s Largest Industry
The Kansas Department of Agriculture congratulates the first ever Kansas Agriculture Heroes. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kansas farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses have performed essential functions to keep food on the tables of people worldwide. KDA established this program as a way to recognize those in the agriculture industry who went above and beyond to serve others and better their community when it was needed most.
