We believe agribusiness is Kansas' most valuable asset. We protect it by educating the people who shape its future: lawmakers, our members, and the public.
Nearly 60 years ago, we started as a volunteer organization of Kansas' chemical, fertilizer and equipment dealers. Today, we're 700+ locations strong and one of the most influential trade associations in the state — but we've never lost that "never met a stranger" attitude. Our members still roll up their sleeves and pitch in for the success of their association, and that volunteer mentality gives us real clout: clout to educate the public and our elected officials, and clout to protect an industry that depends on it. That same grit drives everything we do — promoting professional development and protecting the business viability of plant nutrient and crop protection retailers across Kansas.
Our members compete on business, but they're united on what's best for the industry. Here, you'll find support, real camaraderie, and networking with people who understand the work, because protecting an industry this historic takes more than one company. It takes a community.
It's 2 a.m. on the House floor at the Kansas Capitol, and lawmakers are debating legislation that could reshape your business. You don't have to watch the clock or the chamber. We're already there, defending your interests and keeping you informed on everything happening in Topeka.
Our training is second to none, and we never waste your time. At our conferences, you'll actually learn, from anhydrous ammonia to pasture and range management to navigating the latest rules and regulations. Whatever continuing education you need, no matter how technical, you'll find it here.
We track issues at both the state and federal level, every day, so you don't have to. From rumors and proposed legislation to laws that are already on the books, we keep you informed on everything that could affect your business and your livelihood.
Need to hire, get hired, buy equipment, or find your next opportunity? Our industry marketplace has you covered. Search jobs, post openings, browse equipment for sale, and access the documents your business needs to keep moving forward, all in one place built specifically for Kansas agribusiness.
Nothing beats gathering with our members to celebrate the people doing it right. We recognize the individuals and organizations who go above and beyond to protect the best interests of Kansas agribusiness, because hard work and dedication to this industry deserve to be seen and celebrated.
