Advocating for Kansas family farmers, ranchers, & their communities since 1902.

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

Participation in our education programs provides members with the opportunity to learn and practice a variety of different skills that we believe hold value for our communities.
