Lesser Prairie Chicken Briefings to Be Held February 19, 25 and 26
Kansas Corn Growers Association members are encouraged to attend briefings on the “Stop Fowl Play” effort in Oakley and Hays on Thursday, Feb. 19, in Greensburg on Wednesday, Feb. 25 and in Dodge City on Friday, Feb. 26. KFB Legislative Counsel Mike Irvin and KFB Foundation Director Harry A. Watts will lead briefings on the “Stop Fowl Play” campaign.
Learn how the potential “endangered” listing of the lesser prairie chicken would infringe on private property rights and hinder economic development in rural communities.
The meetings will feature information on how KFB and a coalition that includes the Kansas Corn Growers Association, Texas Farm Bureau, Colorado Farm Bureau, New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau, Oklahoma Farm Bureau and the American Farm Bureau Federation are fighting an “endangered” listing of the lesser prairie chicken.
