The president of the Kansas Farm Bureau is concerned about a growing problem: lack of education. According to the Dodge City Daily Globe, Rich Felts believes education is one of the biggest issues facing Kansas farmers. "There is so much about agriculture that isn't being passed on or explained to children," Felts said on Tuesday. The farm bureau president is concerned about the disconnect between the older and younger generations. He encouraged farmers to reach out and engage with youth. Felt wants to ensure that young people understand the relationship between farmers, farm products and food.
Other issues of concern to Felts are the Federal Water Act, falling grain prices, and the removal of the lesser prairie chicken’s protected status. Felts mentioned some good news, though: Milo looks fantastic this year, and the yield will be bigger than ever.
