Brownback Aims To Change Direction In Kansas Agriculture
Sam Brownback, Manhattan attorney and agricultural economist, took office as Kansas agriculture secretary on October 15 and pushed to move the agency beyond its regulatory role. He aims to create a Commission on the Future of Kansas Agriculture and a Division of Rural Economic Development, with broad backing from the State Board of Agriculture and Kansas Farm Bureau. Brownback travels the state to engage farmers and policymakers, urging faster action to counter a five year downturn, while defending his plan to keep rural development under the board rather than the Commerce Department.
