The Kansas Department of Agriculture is extending the deadline for the 2023 Bluestem Pasture Survey.

The new deadline is April 30th. The goal of the survey is to collect information on native tallgrass pasture use and practices. The survey provides information to Kansas ranchers and the agricultural community as a whole, with information about native tallgrass pasture availability, leasing rates and fencing rates.  Paper and telephone surveys are available, just call 785-564-6726. A link to complete the anonymous and confidential survey is available here.
