K-State To Host Ag Profitability Conferences Across The State

Kansas State University is hosting a series of Agricultural Profitability Conferences across the state, beginning in December and continuing through early February. Organized by K-State’s Department of Agricultural Economics, the conferences will offer insights into economic trends, farm policy, land values and strategies to maintain profitability during difficult times.

According to conference organizers, sessions will focus on preparing farmers to navigate economic downturns, manage input costs and take advantage of new opportunities. Speakers also will discuss stress and mental health, farm succession and retirement planning. Panelists will include K-State economists, Farm Service Agency personnel and others who can provide practical advice. Each conference will include time for open discussion and questions.
