Commissioners
The Kansas Soybean Commission includes nine volunteer farmer-commissioners who are elected by their peers. Their contact information is shared here so their fellow farmers may contact them with questions, comments, suggestions or requests regarding the checkoff. All other inquiries, such as media requests and business opportunities, should be directed to a staff member.
