KFB Foundation for Agriculture expands leadership opportunities with $15,000 Bill House Agricultural Grant

The Kansas Farm Bureau (KFB) Foundation for Agriculture has received a $15,000 Bill House Agricultural Grant from the Community Foundation of Southeast Kansas (CFSEK) to expand scholarship opportunities that help rural and agricultural leaders participate in leadership development programs across the state.

The grant will support the Foundation's existing leadership scholarship program, which offsets travel, registration, lodging and other costs of participation.

"Strong leadership is essential to the future of agriculture, and we're grateful to the Bill House Agricultural Grant Committee for investing in the people who will shape Kansas for years to come," says KFB President Glenn Brunkow. "This support makes it possible for more members to develop the skills, relationships and confidence needed to better serve their communities."

Grant-supported scholarships will help members attend events like KFB's Annual Meeting, Day at the Statehouse, Young Farmers & Ranchers Leaders Conference and Women Grow the Farm.

Bill House (Swain William House) was a prominent Kansas rancher, attorney and national leader in the beef cattle industry whose legacy funds through the CFSEK now support agricultural education and scholarships.

Since its inception in 1998, KFB's Foundation for Agriculture has provided scholarships and grants designed to improve agriculture and the quality of life in rural Kansas. For more information, visit https://www.kfb.org/Foundation-for-Agriculture.
