OUR PROGRAM

The Kansas Agriculture and Rural Leadership (KARL) program is a two-year program that identifies, prepares, and connects aspiring leaders to spark action that will positively impact Kansas agriculture and rural communities. Each class includes up to 30 individuals from across Kansas who are willing to think differently and create change in their organizations, communities, our state, and our world. KARL Associates are connected with people and resources through multi-day seminars held across Kansas, a National Study tour to Washington DC and Gettysburg, PA, and an international study tour.​

The curriculum challenges participants on environmental, economic and political challenges that are unfolding and will continue to test agriculture, agribusiness and rural communities. Our goal is to equip leaders with the broad base of knowledge necessary to help communities and industry make informed decisions, develop action plans, and realize their visions. KARL empowers leaders to help ensure a bright future for Kansas.​
