OUR STORY

The Agri-Business Council of Wichita (Ag Council) was formally organized in August of 2005. We started with a handful of passionate individuals who met in a Wichita restaurant to envision a dynamic organization that could help change agriculture in a changing world. Today, we have grown to an organization with approximately 80 business, association or individual members who are focused on making a difference for agriculture in our communities.

The food and fiber system, including production agriculture, is part of Wichita’s past and is important to our future. Now, there is a place where leaders of this industry can come together to facilitate growth and build awareness of their contributions to the region. The Agri-Business serves as unique forum through which individuals, businesses and organizations involved in agriculture and related industries can get together and be heard. It is a place to discuss emerging issues and opportunities with fellow agricultural professionals as well as to educate government leaders, media, community, and youth groups on the importance of agriculture. Most importantly, it offers a venue to collaborate on common goals that will help define the future of agriculture in our region.
