The
Kansas Department of Agriculture, not only regulates policy,
but also advocates Kansas agriculture. The Department ensures
a safe meat, milk, and egg supply; responsible and judicious
use of pesticides and nutrients; the protection of Kansas' natural
and cultivated plants; integrity of weighing and measuring devices
in commerce; and, that the state's waters are put to beneficial
use. The strong foundation provided by the agency's regulatory
programs allows the secretary of agriculture to effectively
advocate and educate on behalf of Kansas agriculture. Click
