Forums Scheduled for Livestock Producers

By KDA

10/08/2013

The Kansas Department of Agriculture (KDA) Dairy Inspection Program and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) Livestock Waste and Management section will host three forums across the state to explain regulatory requirements and to aid Kansas stockmen and dairymen in successfully completing the inspection process required to meet licensing guidelines.

The forums will be held Nov. 7 in Seneca, Kan. at 9:30 a.m. at the Nemaha County Community Building; Nov. 13 in Hutchinson, Kan. at Carey Park Homebuilders Shelter at 2 p.m.; and Nov. 14 in Garden City, Kan. at the Southwest Research and Extension Center at 9 a.m.

The forums are intended to provide information for Kansas stockmen and dairymen to have greater understanding of the inspection and regulatory process. Program managers from KDA and KDHE will help farmers and ranchers avoid common mistakes found during inspections and cover future regulations that may affect the livestock sector.

Livestock producers who work regularly with the KDHE Livestock Waste Management section on regulations and all dairy farmers are encouraged to attend.

The KDA Division of Conservation will also be available to share information regarding the programs they have available to assist producers.

For more information about the forums, contact Billy Brown, KDA agribusiness development coordinator, at Billy.Brown@kda.ks.gov or (785) 296-4172.
