Kentucky Soybean Farmers Take to Frankfort

May 08, 2014

While the 2014 Kentucky General Assembly session headed into its final weeks, farmers in the Kentucky Soybean Association (KSA) took to the State Capitol on March 25 for lunch and legislative outreach.  Farmers hosted a crowd of more than 250 legislators, staff and agriculture supporters at the Capitol Annex in Frankfort.

“We’ve been doing Frankfort visits for several years, but this was our first foray into an event for state lawmakers at the Capitol,” said KSA Vice President Mike Burchett of Murray. “Any time we can go say ‘thank you’ to our legislators and visit them without a specific request or problem, it helps build the relationships we need for down the road when an issue emerges.”
