Catfish Farming Surges as Recreation Drives Kansas Growth
In Cheney Kansas catfish farming grows not for major meat markets but for recreation and pond stocking. Local growers estimate Kansas catfish generate about 5 million dollars annually, with most production sold out of state. Fee fishing rates run from 90 cents to 1.25 dollars per pound as farmers tap a niche tied to outdoor leisure. Land costs and water scarcity limit expansion, keeping many producers as part time ventures or hobbies.
