Western Kansas Corn Commissioners Reelected for New Term

The Kansas Department of Agriculture has announced the result of the elections held for the state’s five grain commodity commissions — corn, grain sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers and wheat — in the northwest, west central and southwest districts of the state.

Grain commodity commissions serve the Kansas agriculture industry by managing their crop’s research promotion and education programs funded with check-off funds. Candidates for the commissions must be a grower of the commodity in question and a resident in the state of voting age and are elected by eligible growers in their district.

Reelected Kansas Corn Commissioners:

Northwest: Brian Baalman, Sheridan County

West Central: Dennis McNinch, Ness County

Southwest: Paige Clawson, Haskell County
