Soybean producers in central Kansas seeking to influence how the checkoff returns value to their operations are invited to campaign for a seat on the Kansas Soybean Commission.
Districts four, five and six - making up the central third column of the state - are up for election in the 2023 cycle. Interested individuals in these districts have until Nov. 30, 2021 to meet the filing deadline. Candidates must gather 20 signatures from peers with no more than five signatures from any one county to qualify. Signatures may be submitted online, on paper or both.
Per Kansas Department of Agriculture guidelines, candidates must have been actively engaged in growing corn, grain sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers or wheat within the preceding five years to be eligible and may only represent the district of their primary residence.
Documents are available on the Kansas Soybean website.
Questions about Commissioner duties or expectations of service may be directed to the Kansas Soybean office by calling 785-271-1040 or 877-577-6923, or by emailing Administrator Kaleb Little at little@kansassoybeans.org.
