Sebelius names Bucyrus resident to promote Kansas agriculture
Daniel Guetterman appointed to Kansas State Board of Agriculture

Kansas is responsible for more wheat, grain sorghum and beef than any other state in the nation.  To help advise her on the challenges and opportunities facing Kansas farmers, ranchers and producers, Governor Kathleen Sebelius has appointed Daniel Guetterman to the Kansas State Board of Agriculture. 

“Kansas has a strong agricultural tradition that actually predates statehood and is a significant part of our economy,” said Sebelius.  “Whether it’s by expanding markets or the use of new technology and new ways of raising crops and livestock, we need to do whatever we can to help Kansas farmers and ranchers prosper.”

The State Board of Agriculture serves in an advisory capacity to the Governor and Kansas Secretary of Agriculture.  It reviews and makes recommendations on legislative initiatives and proposed rules and regulations. 

Guetterman, Bucyrus, is the president and owner of DKG Farms, Inc.  He joins the board with 37 years of agricultural experience, 20 of which he spent working with the Kansas Soybean Association.  Guetterman has been a member of the Kansas Corn Commission since 1998.

Guetterman will fulfill an unexpired four-year term.
