American Agri-Women or AAW is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a Drive Across America, with the five-month long education and advocacy trek across the United States making a stop in Manhattan Thursday. Kansas Agri-Women, the state affiliate of AAW, is hosting the networking event “Planting our Future” at the Kansas Wheat facility at 1990 Kimball Avenue.
AAW President Sue McCrum will be part of the event that will include affiliate members and representatives from the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Kansas Wheat, Kansas State University, Kansas Pork, Kansas Farm Bureau, Frontier Farm Credit and others. The groups will share their work in helping plant the future of Kansas agriculture.
Leaders are traveling the country in a specially wrapped pickup and meeting with afiliates and agriculture and consumer groups nationwide. American Agri-Women is the largest national coalition of farm, ranch and agribusiness women.
