Kansas is home to agricultural companies of all sizes specializing in equipment for livestock and farming. Many of these companies have an international presence and impressive market penetration within the United States. The farm machinery and equipment manufacturing industry contributes $4.0 billion to the Kansas economy and is the 37th largest industry in the state. Nearly 90 percent of Kansas' land mass is devoted to farming and ranching, providing ample customers for agricultural manufacturers' product lines.
It is the mission of KDA to support all facets of agriculture, including lending support to Kansas businesses which specialize in the manufacturing and sales of agriculture equipment. KDA's Ag Growth Project has included a focus on this sector of the Kansas agriculture industry through small group meetings and at the Ag Growth Summit since 2016.
