MANHATTAN — The Kansas Corn Growers Association is nearing the end of its Listening Tour, and one of the three remaining stops is in the KVOE listening area.
The tour will stop at Osage City’s Santa Fe Depot, 110 N. 5th, from 6:30-8:30 pm Monday.
The KCGA is asking ag producers and industry partners to attend and discuss issues impacting agriculture as a whole and corn specifically, including trade, ethanol, corn markets, Farm Bill and local challenges. The tour began Aug. 8 and has been sponsored by the KGCA and the Kansas Corn Commission.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service says corn is currently rated 7 percent very poor, 15 poor, 31 fair, 41 good, and 6 excellent. Corn dough was 77 percent, ahead of 67 both last year and for the five-year average. Dented was 42 percent, well ahead of 22 last year and 19 average. Mature was 6 percent.
