YSA Tours Eastern, Central Kansas Beef And Dairy Operations

The 2025 KLA Young Stockmen’s Academy (YSA) met for its third session last week. Class members from across the state spent three days touring various segments of the beef and dairy industries. The YSA program is exclusively sponsored by Merck Animal Health.

Arndt Farms near Emporia hosted the group’s first stop, where they toured several Flint Hills pastures in Chase and Lyon counties while learning about the Arndts’ diversified operation. Then, the class headed to Manhattan Commission Company for a Beef Quality Assurance training and injection site demonstration.
