In this special round-table edition of Wheat’s On Your Mind, host Aaron Harries welcomes the CEOs of Kansas Wheat, Corn, Soybeans, and Sorghum — Justin Gilpin, Josh Roe, Caleb Little, and Adam York.
Together, they unpack how Kansas’ checkoff and grower associations function, where the dollars go, and how their unified efforts help strengthen markets, research, and advocacy for farmers across the state.
From tackling low commodity prices to building new international markets and investing in next-generation crop research, these leaders share candid perspectives on what’s working — and what’s keeping them up at night.
They also discuss Kansas’ leadership in sustainability, the farm bill’s slow rollout, and how farmers are adapting to water and policy challenges.
It’s an insider’s look at how collaboration keeps Kansas agriculture resilient, relevant, and rooted in the future.
