Kansas receives 1.67 million for agroterrorism defense
Kansas will get 1.67 million dollars in federal funds to shield agriculture from possible terrorist attacks. Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman announced the grants, with 900,000 allocated to Kansas State University for a rapid plant disease detection network and the rest split between the Kansas Department of Agriculture and the Kansas Department of Animal Health for animal disease response, surveillance, and plant disease work. Senator Pat Roberts emphasized vigilance and leadership in protecting the state economy and food supply. The package comes as federal groups review Karnal bunt concerns and potential impacts on international wheat trade. Veneman noted no Karnal bunt findings this year and described voluntary testing with a compensation program to encourage participation.
