Lawmakers celebrate Kansas Agriculture Day
TOPEKA—State lawmakers will celebrate Kansas Agriculture Day on Thursday by feasting on a lunch of Kansas foods compliments of the agricultural organizations sponsoring the event.

Governor Mark Parkinson recently signed a proclamation declaring March 14-20 Kansas Agriculture Week and March 18 Kansas Agriculture Day in honor of the state's founding industry.

The by-invitation lunch will be from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the historic Dillon House, 404 SW 9th Street, just west of the Statehouse.

Attendees will be greeted by Secretary of Agriculture Josh Svaty and Secretary of Commerce Bill Thornton, whose agencies organized the lunch on behalf of the agriculture groups.

Senator Mark Taddiken, chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee, and Representative Larry Powell, chair of the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, are scheduled to speak.
