Kansas Trademark Program Aims to Open Doors for Local Foods
In Kansas a state marketing push backs local producers with a “From the Land of Kansas” trademark. Central Soyfoods will sell tofu in Dillon's stores statewide as the Board of Agriculture expands a Celebrate Kansas Food campaign. The program has boosted small firms like Deutsch Treat and Squareshooter Candy, with broad store displays and media ads planned October 14 to 20.

Farmland Profits Mark Turnaround from Losses
Farmland Industries Inc reports a $60 million 1987 net income on $2.59 billion sales, reversing a $156 million loss in 1986 as the cooperative trims costs by over $20 million and expands into farm lending and food processing. The gain includes a $51 million balance sheet windfall from pension rule changes and $14 million from shares in joint ventures. Rainey says the group plans outside-cooperative financing for its lending push while maintaining Farm Credit ties.
