K-State To Host Beginning Farmer, Rancher Conferences This Fall

The Beginning Farmer and Rancher Conference series, developed by Robin Reid and Ashlee Westerhold in K-State’s Department of Agricultural Economics, is designed to equip students, young producers and those new to agriculture with the tools needed to build successful, sustainable careers in farming or ranching.
