Due to the state’s response to COVID-19, the staff at the Kansas Department of Agriculture continues to work in a limited capacity with much of the staff working remotely. The KDA headquarters office in Manhattan is now open to the public, with changes to a number of practices in place to protect the health of staff and visitors. The field offices are conducting business as usual, but the offices are not open to the public, so questions should be addressed directly to those offices via phone or email.
- All staff and visitors are required to wear face coverings in public areas of the building.
- Social distancing must be maintained while in the building.
- Many meetings are being held as online meetings or conference calls.
We appreciate your patience as we work through these changing times.
