An agricultural summit will focus on broad topics affecting the entire agriculture community in mid-August.
Kansas Department of Agriculture officials announced in a press release to 13 News - WIBW TV that agriculture leaders from across the state can join the eighth annual Kansas Governor’s Summit on Agricultural Growth on Thursday, Aug. 17 at the Manhattan Conference Center at the Hilton Garden Inn located at 410 S. 3rd St. in Manhattan, Kan.
According to the Kansas Department of Agriculture officials, the 2023 Ag Growth Summit will be an in-person event with an emphasis on opportunities for discussion and networking. This year’s event will take a different format than in past years, focusing on broad topics that affect the whole agriculture community rather than small sessions separated by individual ag sectors. All farmers, ranchers, agribusiness owners and industry professionals are welcome at the Ag Growth Summit.
Staff at the Kansas Department of Agriculture said workforce and water have been identified as two major areas of focus that significantly impact the potential for growth in Kansas agriculture, so guest speakers and small group discussions during the day will be directed toward those two topics.
Attendees are also invited to participate in a social event on the evening of Aug. 16 at the Manhattan Conference Center.
