Farm Bureau members lobby for water plan funding in Kansas

Kansas Farm Bureau is lobbying lawmakers to fully fund the state’s water plan before a shortage impacts the ag industry.

President Joe Newland tells Brownfield the state has depleted reservoirs and the Ogallala Aquifer and it will need millions of dollars to solve the problem. “How do we really cut back, and still produce what we need to in order to protect the state economy and the livelihood of our producers?”

Kent Askren, public policy director with KFB, says the plan includes a water injector dredging program for Tuttle Creek.
