Kansas corn producers are invited to the fifth annual Kansas Corn Symposium to celebrate the accomplishments of Kansas Corn and look to the future on topics including policy, market development, leadership and research. The Symposium will be held on Jan. 27 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Salina. All corn producers are welcome to attend the symposium.
The event will begin at 11:30 a.m. with registration prior to lunch. The luncheon speaker will be Brad Palen of KCoe Isom, covering infrastructure legislation, succession planning, and tax policy. Following the luncheon, beginning at 2 p.m. is the KCGA Annual Meeting where association members will weigh in on policy priorities, elect the three board members who serve the southern districts and receive timely state and national policy updates.
The Symposium will also focus on celebrating those KCGA members who excelled this year in the Kansas Corn Yield Contest and Kansas Corn leadership programs. During dinner, Kansas Corn will recognize retiring leaders, Steve Rome of Hugoton, and Pat Ross of Lawrence, for their years of service to Kansas Corn. Keynote speaker for the evening will be Mike Beam, Kansas Secretary of Agriculture.
Farmers who participate in the Kansas Corn Symposium on Jan. 27 are encouraged to stay to attend the Kansas Commodity Classic which takes place at the Hilton Garden Inn the next day.
