Old Order Faces Winds Of Change In Kansas Agriculture
Kansas boards control $4 million in public funds via the State Board of Agriculture elected by farm groups led by the Farm Bureau. Debate grows over whether governor appointments should diversify representation as critics cite limited awareness of board members among farmers. Law directs six districts to elect two members each, with Farm Bureau delegates dominating. Secretary Roy Freeland defends the system, noting equal opportunity for all farm organizations. Current members listed with ages, origins, and start years. Next: a closer look at board duties.
