CALLING ALL SPECIALTY LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS!

Researchers with Kansas State University and the Kansas Department of Agriculture are studying the issues and challenges specialty producers face in the marketing of their animals and products. The short online survey will help identify the marketing gaps within our state’s specialty livestock sector. The results will be used to generate strategies for overcoming producer barriers to specialty livestock marketing efforts.

Complete Survey Now!

They are also offering incentives for referrals. If someone provides at least five specialty livestock producer contacts with email addresses to the survey, they will be entered into a drawing to receive one of five $100 gift cards. The referral form can be found through the following link: https://forms.gle/kS2LMd7jujM9rKky6.
