The Kansas Department of Agriculture is looking forward to hosting the seventh annual Kansas Governor's Summit on Agricultural Growth on August 18, 2022, at the Manhattan Conference Center in Manhattan, Kansas. The Summit hosts Kansas farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses and invites them to work together in a collaborative setting to discuss growing the agriculture industry in Kansas. Please join KDA along with agriculture leaders from across the state as we share ideas about how we can work together to expand opportunities for Kansas agriculture.
Sectors meeting in person include: Ag Equipment Manufacturing & Sales, Ag Tech, Animal Health, Beef, Corn, Cotton, Dairy, Pet Food, Poultry, Sorghum, Soybeans, and Specialty Livestock.
As we have done in previous years, we will kick off the Summit with an optional social event the evening of August 17, 2022. The social will also be held at the Manhattan Conference Center. Specific details for this event are still being finalized, but please mark your calendar for a fun evening in Manhattan.
