Kansas Board of Agriculture Mostly Fueled by Farm Bureau
The Kansas State Board of Agriculture funds four million dollars of public money and is selected by private farm groups led by the Farm Bureau. Delegates from county farm organizations elect board members, a process defended as a broad cross section but criticized as unrepresentative by some legislators. The article notes plans to reexamine the board and possible governor appointments to the state Fair Board.
