About the KSFGC

About

The Kansas Forage and Grassland Council (KSFGC) was first organized in 1988 to strengthen the forage base for the livestock industry through more efficient production and utilization. Today, we are a family of research & extension specialists, farmers, ranchers, agency personnel and industry professionals who understand and appreciate the vital role that forages and grasslands play in both the Kansas economy and landscape. Working together, we provide much needed forage education and programs.
