Since 1907, Kansas Farmers Union has worked to protect and enhance the economic interests and quality of life for family farmers, ranchers, and our rural communities.

Your priorities are our priorities.

Legislation

We keep our members informed on ag and rural issues and paves the way for them to voice their opinions through our grassroots policy development.

The National Farmers Union annual Washington D.C. Fly-in every autumn keeps lawmakers up to date on issues important to Kansans.

Cooperation

We promote rural economic and cooperative development by supporting existing agricultural co-ops and helping form new farmer co-ops and other rural businesses.

We assist producers in retaining ownership of their farm products further into the processing channel and enhance market returns on their investment.

Education

Education is essential to the success and growth of Kansas Farmers Union.

We are committed to providing opportunities and programs of excellence to our members.
