KSFGC – Many of you are Kansas Forage and Grassland Council members, have participated in a KSFGC sponsored activity, or simply subscribe to this eNewsletter. The KSFGC Board continues to modernize and work more closely with our national affiliate organizations, the American Forage and Grassland Council and the National Alfalfa and Forage Alliance (NAFA).

Part of this effort includes moving completely to the AFGC Membership system. As a result, you may have already, or will in the future, receive a membership invoice from AFGC. PLEASE join or renew your annual membership when you receive this, and if you haven’t, set up your membership account!

By joining KSFGC via the AFGC webpage, you’ll automatically become part of a massive network of forage growers, ranchers and grazers, across the United States.
