Governor Sebelius reappoints Larry Shivers to the Kansas Agricultural Remediation Board

Governor Kathleen Sebelius today announced the reappointment of Larry S. Shivers to the Kansas Agricultural Remediation Board and confirmed by the Senate. He will serve a four-year term.

“Agriculture is a key part of the Kansas economy, and this board calls for solid experience and knowledge,” Governor Sebelius said. “I am pleased Larry will continue to serve on the board and use his experience to benefit our state.”

Shivers, Salina, has been the area manager for Western Kansas for the Van Diest Supply Company for 15 years. Prior to 1990, Shivers worked as a general manager for National Animal Health, Inc., and regional manager of the Terra International, Inc. He also owned and operated an irrigated farming operation.
