At last
summer’s Ag Growth Summit, the Kansas Department of Agriculture kicked off a
new recognition program to honor outstanding Kansans: Kansas Ag Heroes.
Nominations are now open for the second year of the program, and KDA anticipates
new stories of outstanding service from across the Kansas agriculture
community.
Kansas Ag Heroes
was established as a way to recognize those in the agriculture industry who
went above and beyond to serve others and better their community when it was
needed most. KDA encourages Kansans to nominate any individual, family, or
business in Kansas agriculture which you feel provided a notable contribution
to the agriculture industry or their community as a whole this year.
Nominations will be accepted through August 13. The nomination instructions can
be found at www.agriculture.ks.gov/AgHeroes.
KDA leadership will
review each nomination and will recognize a select number of agriculture heroes
during the Kansas Governor’s Summit on Agricultural Growth in Manhattan on
August 26.

the Kansas Agricultural Heroes Program nomination process, please contact
