(KAIR)--Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, on March 28, paid a visit to JET Produce and Meats, a family-owned farm in Leavenworth, where she declared March as “Kansas Agriculture Month” to “highlight the ag industry's importance for local communities across the state.”
According to a release from Kelly- office, agriculture contributes nearly $80 billion to the Kansas economy and contributes nearly 240,000 jobs - 12% of the state's workforce. In 2022, Kansas produced more than $5 billion in agricultural exports, the most in state history.
JET Produce and Meats started as a small family farm in 2012 and has expanded over the years from sales at farmers markets into the introduction of a fully operated farm store.
In the release, Kelly voices her appreciation for ag-producers, saying that she is “forever grateful to the hardworking women and men in the Ag industry for fueling our economy and feeding the world.”
