USDA Reports Trip

Kansas Farm Bureau’s USDA Reports Trip to Washington DC is a three-day excursion, beginning at noon on August 9, 2025, and ending the afternoon of the twelfth. The objective of the trip is to trace the development and release of USDA Crop Reports and is highlighted by a flight to Washington D.C. where the group will have the opportunity to observe the August, “USDA Lock Up," and monthly report to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture regarding U.S. crop production, and world supply and demand.

To learn more about the trip, contact Mark Nelson, nelsonm@kfb.org. Note: Members chosen to participate will be notified by KFB Staff. Kansas Farm Bureau will reserve and pay for members one night stay in Kansas City, two nights in Washington DC and for three group meals. Members will be responsible for all other costs including air travel, other meals, cabs, etc. ($800-$1,500).

IDEA: A County Farm Bureau could sponsor a member(s), using this as a Leadership Development opportunity and/or agricultural education event, inviting the member to share what they learned at a later County Farm Bureau sponsored event, Board or County Annual meeting.
