Davids Discusses Priorities for Rural Kansas at KC Agriculture Forum

Representative Sharice Davids spoke at the 11th annual Ag Outlook Forum, hosted by the Agricultural Business Council of Kansas City. The Forum brings together leaders from across agriculture, business, and government to discuss economic trends and the future of the farm economy.

“Here in Kansas, agriculture isn’t just part of our economy it’s part of our identity. Farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses keep food on our tables and drive growth across the state,” said Davids. “On the Agriculture Committee, I’ve worked to bring those voices to the table and work toward bipartisan solutions that lower grocery costs, strengthen supply chains, support ag research, and keep nutrition programs in place for families."

In her remarks, Davids emphasized her ongoing conversations with Kansas producers, highlighting concerns about tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and cuts to agricultural research and food security programs. She also underscored the importance of bipartisanship, noting that past Farm Bills have always come together through cooperation, and stressed that the same approach is needed now to deliver certainty for farmers and families alike. Davids then reiterated her support for biofuels and local supply chain initiatives that reduce grocery costs.
